Denier Bracteate

Brunswick-Lüneburg in the 1360s and 70s was a duchy fractured among competing Welf lines, and the bracteate coinage of this period reflects that fragmentation directly — multiple overlapping issues, shared types across branches, and attribution disputes that survive into modern scholarship. Denicke's catalog remains the primary reference precisely because the documentary record is so thin.

Bracteates of this weight class were effectively local small change, valid within tight geographic boundaries and frequently demonetized at the next dynastic shift.
