背面描述	As a bracteate or near-bracteate thin flan coin, the reverse shows an incuse or faint mirror impression of the obverse design, with the heraldic shield and surrounding pellet border visible in relief from the opposite side. No independent reverse legend or design is present, consistent with the bracteate production technique employed for small-denomination coinage in early seventeenth-century German city states. The plain fields and lack of a distinct reverse composition confirm this piece's classification within the bracteate tradition.

附加信息	Worms had been minting bracteates — coins struck on a single thin flan, with the design appearing in relief on one side and intaglio on the other — long after most German cities had abandoned the technique for double-sided coinage. By the early seventeenth century, this was a deliberate archaism, a civic assertion of ancient minting rights during a period when imperial monetary reforms were steadily eroding municipal coining privileges. The Thirty Years' War, which erupted in 1618, would eventually end Worms's independent coinage altogether.
