| Obverse description | Facing eagle displayed in the field, struck in the bracteate manner as a single-sided thin silver flan. The eagle is depicted with a slightly open beak, wings spread with the left wing raised higher than the right, and prominent outward-facing feather detailing across both wings. The large tail fan spreads downward with outwardly curved feathers, the tips of which make contact with the claw of the right foot. The design is rendered in the bold, low-relief style characteristic of late 12th- to mid-13th-century German bracteate coinage. |
