| Obverse description | Thin hammered bracteate of irregular flan struck in low-relief silver. The central device features a large uncial letter 'E', the initial of Einbeck, rendered in a distinctive theta-like form with a horizontal bar dividing the interior of the letter. A small pellet or annulet appears to the right of the main letter. The design occupies nearly the entire field with no surrounding legend, characteristic of small municipal bracteate pfennigs of the early sixteenth century. |
