| Additional information |
Brunswick-Lüneburg's bracteate deniers occupy an awkward transitional period in Lower Saxon coinage, produced across two centuries during which the duchy itself was repeatedly partitioned, reunited, and repartitioned among Welf dynastic branches. Attributing specific strikes within this long type-span to individual rulers or sub-lines remains genuinely contested among specialists, which is precisely why Berger and Denicke catalog them under broad sequential ranges rather than reign assignments.
The thinness inherent to bracteate production means edge cracks are endemic to the type — not a strike defect specific to this piece, but a structural consequence of hammering silver this light across a single-sided die.
