| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents an incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the incuse impression of the central cross with flanking wing devices and trefoil finial, typical of the single-sided hammered bracteate technique employed in medieval German territorial coinage. |

| Additional information |
Lower Lusatia passed through the hands of the Přemyslids, Ascanians, and eventually the Luxembourgs across the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, each transfer reshaping the margravate's administrative and monetary output. Bracteate production in the region reflects these interruptions — thin single-sided strikes were both economical and easily demonetized when lordship changed hands. Bahrfeldt's reference 309 places this piece within a tightly catalogued sequence where attribution depends heavily on die comparison rather than inscription.
