| Obverse description | Facing bust of an archbishop rendered in low relief, wearing a mitra (mitre), set within a pointed rhombus (lozenge) framed by a beaded border. Four keys are disposed in the angles surrounding the rhombus, referencing the ecclesiastical authority of the See of Bremen. The design is executed in the characteristic flat, single-sided bracteate technique, with the entire composition contained within a plain raised rim. The style is typical of late 13th-century German episcopal coinage, with simplified but iconographically deliberate imagery. |
