| Reverse description | Central field features the Mecklenburg bull's head device — a stylized frontal bull's head with wide-set circular eyes and a broad open muzzle — set within a plain inner circle enclosed by a beaded border, consistent with the heraldic tradition of the Mecklenburg mint at Güstrow. The design is executed in the crude but characterful manner of late 15th-century hammered minor coinage. A Gothic Latin circumscription surrounding the central device reads +MONET° NOVA° GVSTROW, identifying this as a new issue of the Güstrow mint. The overall fabric is typical of small-denomination silver bracteate-influenced struck coinage of the period. |
