| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, the reverse presents a uniface incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, showing the lion passant in negative relief as a natural consequence of the single-die hammered technique applied to a thin silver flan. The surface is unmarked and unadorned, with the pelletted border and lion figure appearing in shallow concave form. No additional engraving, legend, or mintmark is present on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Biberach gained imperial free city status in the early thirteenth century, and this bracteate belongs to the brief window when the city exercised autonomous minting rights before regional episcopal and dynastic pressures reasserted themselves. Bracteate production in Swabia during this period was intensely local — dies rarely traveled, and the thin, single-sided fabric meant that even modest circulation left coins unrecognizable.
The Cahn collection reference anchors this piece firmly within the scholarly tradition of south German bracteate studies, where Cahn's 1931 Frankfurt sale catalogue remains a foundational sorting tool for Swabian civic issues.
