| Obverse description | A six-spoked wheel rendered in high relief at the centre of the flan, with a prominent central hub from which the spokes radiate uniformly to a plain outer rim. The design is bold and simply executed in the bracteate tradition, with no legend or additional ornament in the field. The irregular, wavy edge is characteristic of the thin hammered silver flan typical of medieval bracteate coinage. |

| Additional information |
Stargard's bracteate deniers belong to a dense regional coinage tradition across Pomerania and Brandenburg in which dozens of small towns exercised minting rights simultaneously, producing thin single-sided silver pieces that circulated hyperlocally and rarely traveled far. The reference pairing here — Dannenberg and Koppmann — reflects how heavily 19th-century scholars had to collaborate just to untangle which civic authority struck which type, since mint signatures were rarely explicit.
At 0.33g, survival in any condition is the baseline achievement.
