| Beschrijving voorzijde | A large walking lion passant to sinister dominates the central field, rendered in bold relief in the characteristic Romanesque style of 13th-century Brunswick bracteates. Beneath and partially overlapped by the primary lion is a second, smaller lion also oriented to sinister, symbolising the dynastic heraldry of the Welf house. The composition is enclosed within a prominent inner beaded border, itself surrounded by a further outer beaded ring that follows the irregular flan edge. The striking is characteristic of the bracteate technique, with the design struck on a single thin flan producing high-relief imagery visible on the obverse only. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As is typical of the bracteate coinage, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design impressed into the thin silver flan during the single-sided striking process, with no independent design, legend, or decorative element intentionally applied to this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albert I ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during a period of acute political fragmentation in the Guelf territories, following the 1267 partition that divided the duchy among competing branches of the family. The bracteate format — struck on a single thin flan from one die, leaving a mirror impression on the reverse — was the dominant coinage technology across northern Germany and the Baltic through much of the thirteenth century, a regional peculiarity that persisted well after double-sided striking had become standard elsewhere in Europe.
The Denicke 173 attribution places this firmly within the established Brunswick bracteate sequence, cross-referenced by Berger and Bonhoff against die studies conducted on surviving hoards.
