| Beschrijving voorzijde | Thin bracteate flan struck with a single die, displaying a stylized Gothic letter 'G' — the initial of Göttingen — rendered in a curvilinear form at center. The letter is surrounded by one or more concentric raised rings that serve as an inner border, the whole contained within the irregular, slightly wavy rim characteristic of hammered bracteate coinage. The design is bold and simple, typical of municipal bracteates issued by Lower Saxon towns in the medieval period. The overall relief is shallow, as is inherent to the bracteate technique, with the design appearing in positive on the obverse and as a corresponding incuse impression on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Göttingen received town rights in 1210 and was minting its own bracteates within decades — thin, single-sided coins struck with enough force that the design pressed through as a mirror image on the reverse. The type was dominant across northern and central Germany through the thirteenth century, gradually displaced by thicker double-sided pfennigs as minting technique and commercial demand evolved.
Schrock #2 places this among the earliest attributable Göttingen municipal issues.
