| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin hammered silver, displaying a spread eagle with wings raised and displayed, rendered in bold relief characteristic of mid-13th century German bracteate coinage. The eagle's head is shown in profile facing left, surmounted by a globule, with the body depicted frontally and the talons spread prominently at the base. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border of large pellets following the irregular round flan. The style is typical of Hohenstaufen-period imperial bracteates, with strong, stylized modeling of the feathers and tail plumage. |
