| Beschrijving voorzijde | The municipal arms of Konstanz displayed within a plain inner circle, consisting of a quartered shield bearing a cross, with a crescent or small circular charge positioned above the shield in the upper field. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of bracteate coinage, with the arms centrally placed and struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan. The letter C, serving as an abbreviated civic initial, appears above the shield. The overall style is typical of late medieval South German civic bracteate issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Konstanz issued these thin, single-sided bracteates during the years of the Council of Konstanz, the great church assembly that sat from 1414 to 1418 and drew tens of thousands of visitors — clergy, diplomats, merchants, and their retinues — into a city of perhaps six thousand residents. The surge in commercial activity created acute demand for small-denomination silver, and local minting authority expanded accordingly. Nau 12 falls within the sequence tied directly to that period of extraordinary municipal stress and opportunity.
