| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a true bracteate, this coin was struck from a single die on a thin silver flan, producing an incuse mirror-image impression on the reverse. The reverse therefore shows the negative relief of the obverse design: the heraldic central motif and the initial B appear sunken and reversed within a shallow concave field. The surface retains the characteristic striated texture of the hammer-struck bracteate technique, with no independently designed reverse type or legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick's bracteate issues of this period emerged from a city asserting its independence against the competing claims of the Welf dukes — tensions that flared repeatedly across the fourteenth century and culminated in Brunswick's formal alignment with the Hanseatic League in 1386. The city's mint rights were a hard-won and frequently contested privilege, and these thin uniface pennies functioned as the everyday transactional currency of a merchant town that knew exactly what its monetary autonomy was worth.
At under half a gram, losses to wear and folding were inevitable. Berger 926–927 distinguishes between die varieties that Denicke catalogues under a single type.
