| Obverse description | Stylized eagle displayed in the field, rendered in high-relief bracteate technique characteristic of late 13th-century German coinage. The eagle is depicted with an oversized head, a distinctive double beak, and abbreviated wings with elongated feathers rendered in a schematic, abstract manner. The talons are portrayed as long, straight claws extending downward from the body. The overall design is executed in the bold, impressionistic style typical of regional Pfennig bracteates of the Holy Roman Empire from this period. |
