Beschrijving voorzijde Facing human head or mask depicted in low relief at center, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of mid-thirteenth-century Brandenburg bracteate coinage. The face displays large, prominent eyes and flanking hair or drapery elements falling to either side. Surrounding the central motif is a raised beaded or rope-like inner border, encircled by a radiating striated outer rim creating a sunburst effect typical of the region's bracteate tradition. The thin, uniface flan exhibits the characteristic slight irregularity of hammered bracteate production. No legible inscription is present.

Beschrijving keerzijde As a bracteate, this coin is uniface; the reverse presents the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, showing the negative relief of the central facing head and surrounding borders as a natural consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate technique. The surface is plain and unadorned, with no intentional design or inscription on this side.

Aanvullende informatie

Brandenburg's bracteate deniers of the late 13th century were struck under the Ascanians at a moment when the margraviate was aggressively expanding eastward into Pomerania and the Neumark. The single-sided hammered fabric was a deliberate concession to the thin silver blanks available from regional sources — not an aesthetic choice but a metallurgical one.

Bahrf#324 is associated with issues from the Brandenburg an der Havel mint, though attribution among the late Ascanian bracteates remains contested given the absence of mint marks and the proliferation of dies across multiple striking locations.
