| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a raised inner circle, the enthroned figure of St. Maurice seated facing, bareheaded and nimbed, rendered in the schematic Romanesque style typical of early thirteenth-century bracteate coinage. To the saint's right, a palm branch rises above a small flat-roofed tower set upon a rounded arch; to his left, a heraldic shield is surmounted by a flag or gonfalon with the cloth billowing outward. No weapons or armour are indicated on the figure. No legend is present, the entire design being contained within the beaded or plain inner border characteristic of Magdeburg bracteates of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albert of Käfernburg served as Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1205 to 1232, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Ascanian margraves over territorial jurisdiction east of the Elbe. Bracteates — struck on a single thin flan so that the design punches through as a mirror image on the reverse — were the dominant small silver denomination across northern and central Germany through much of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a regional tradition that never fully took hold further west.
Magdeburg's mint output under Albert is reasonably well documented across the Berger and Bonhomme corpora, though die linkage studies suggest production was episodic rather than continuous across the full 27-year episcopate.
