| Obverse description | Central field depicts a standing figure, likely a margrave or bishop, shown frontally in a stylized, crude manner characteristic of medieval bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The figure appears robed, with arms extended and small crescent or symbol to the right. The design is contained within an irregular beaded or plain inner circle, with the flat hammered flan showing typical surface irregularities of the period. |

| Additional information |
The anonymous deniers of fourteenth-century Brandenburg present persistent attribution problems precisely because they bear no ruler's name — a deliberate choice in some cases, an economy of dies in others. The fifty-year span assigned to this type reflects not confirmed sequential production but the difficulty of pinning undated bracteate-adjacent silver to specific margraves during a period when the Ascanians died out in 1320 and the Wittelsbachs fought the Luxembourgs over the march for decades.
