| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate type depicting a single-headed eagle displayed with upraised wings, each wing rendered with three stylized feathers. A small escutcheon, representing the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Utrecht, is positioned below the wings in the lower field. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of hammered bracteate coinage, with a plain, unstruck reverse resulting from the single-die striking technique. The irregular flan and crude workmanship are typical of low-denomination ecclesiastical issues of the late medieval Low Countries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bracteates from the Utrecht bishopric in this period were produced under David of Burgundy, an illegitimate son of Philip the Good who held the see from 1456 until his death in 1496. His tenure was marked by persistent conflict with the city of Utrecht itself, culminating in open revolt in the 1480s. Copper bracteates of this type served local small-change functions in a region where silver coinage was routinely hoarded or exported under Gresham's Law pressures common to the Low Countries at this time.
