Denier Bracteate

正面描述	Bracteate type struck in thin silver sheet with a single-sided design in high relief. At center, a stylized eagle's head facing left rendered in bold, schematic relief characteristic of mid-13th century Brandenburg coinage. Below the eagle's head, two crossed keys are depicted in low relief, serving as the principal heraldic charge of the issuing authority. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a slightly irregular beaded border. The overall style is typical of the simplified, emblematic imagery found on late medieval German bracteates.

附加信息	Brandenburg's bracteate deniers of the late 13th century were produced under the Ascanians at a moment when the margraviate was aggressively expanding eastward through colonization and military pressure — the coins themselves functioned as instruments of that territorial policy, circulating through newly established market towns along the Havel and Spree. The single-sided striking technique, forced by the thinness of the flan, made bracteates notoriously fragile and prone to cracking, which is why intact examples at this weight are genuinely uncommon.
