Denier Bracteate

Dömitz, a small fortified town on the Elbe, held minting rights during the late thirteenth century within the complex web of ecclesiastical and secular privileges that governed north German coinage. Bracteates of this type — single-sided, struck on thin fabric — were the dominant small denomination across much of the north German plain precisely because they were cheap to produce and could be recalled and restruck periodically, a practice known as Renovatio monetae that allowed issuing authorities to collect seigniorage on the exchange.

Jesse #163 remains the primary reference for this Dömitz attribution, with Dann's Sachsen corpus corroborating the assignment.
