| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate uniface type struck in thin silver sheet. The central field features two clusters of pellets arranged in a grape-like formation, consisting of approximately nine to ten raised spherical pellets each, flanking a central vertical axis. Below the pellet clusters, a small stylized rosette or six-petalled flower ornament is positioned at the base of the design. The entire motif is enclosed within a plain raised inner border, itself surrounded by the outer legend area bearing the Latin inscription. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of hammered bracteate production of the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jena held minting rights sporadically through the medieval period, and this issue falls within a tense phase of Thuringian political fragmentation following the Saxon fratricidal conflict known as the Bruderkrieg, which formally erupted in 1446. Bracteate production in small Thuringian towns was already an anachronism by the mid-fifteenth century — most German mints had long abandoned the single-sided thin-flan technique — making Jena's continued use of it a function of local convention rather than any practical monetary logic.
The Pfennig Kabinett reference P.K.#585 places this squarely within a documented Thuringian bracteate sequence, though surviving examples in collectible condition are genuinely scarce given the fragility inherent to flans of this weight.
