| Additional information |
Cheb (Eger) operated with considerable monetary autonomy during the fifteenth century, a privilege fiercely guarded by the city council against repeated pressure from Bohemian royal authority. These bracteates — struck from a single die on an exceptionally thin flan — were a deliberately archaic choice for the period, a technology the region clung to long after double-sided coinage had become standard across most of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Donebauer reference numbers suggest two distinct die varieties within what is otherwise an undifferentiated type.
