| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a plain inner circle, a stylized lion passant to the right rendered in a bold, simplified medieval style typical of bracteate coinage. A large, prominent globule occupies the upper left field beside the lion's head, while a cluster of smaller globules appears to the upper right, likely representing a schematized crown or heraldic ornament. The lion's body and legs are depicted in a rudimentary but characteristic fashion, with pellet-form feet visible below. The overall design is deeply struck in high relief on a thin flan, consistent with the bracteate technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Lüneburg's bracteate deniers occupy an unusual position in medieval German coinage — thin, single-sided, and extraordinarily fragile, they were a regional solution to the chronic shortage of silver that plagued the duchy across the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The type persisted for two centuries precisely because it was cheap to produce, requiring far less silver per coin than contemporary double-sided issues from neighboring mints.
Berger 845 and Denicke 256 place this piece within a well-documented but technically demanding series for collectors — the thin flans crack and curl with minimal provocation, and genuinely flat, uncreased survivors are scarce.
