| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface issue struck as a bracteate: the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the indented impressions of the bust and bear passant transferred through the thin silver flan during the single-die hammering process. The surface is unfinished and bears no independent design, inscription, or embellishment. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Angster was a small fractional denomination that emerged in the Swiss Confederation during the late 14th century as urban economies demanded coinage below the level of the Rappen. Bern's right to strike its own silver coinage derived from imperial privilege, and the city exercised that right aggressively as it expanded its territorial control across the Mittelland in precisely these decades.
At 0.28 g, these pieces were among the lightest silver coins in regular circulation anywhere in medieval Europe, and surviving examples with any surface integrity are genuinely scarce.
