| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device consisting of a Teutonic shield of pointed form, bearing a plain cross throughout, all set within a slightly raised circular border. The shield is rendered in low relief characteristic of bracteate coinage, with the cross dividing the shield face into four equal quarters. The flan is irregular and thin, typical of early 14th-century bracteate production in the Prussian territories of the Teutonic Order. No legend or inscription is present; the design occupies the central field without peripheral lettering. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse mirror image of the obverse, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage struck from a single die on a thin flan. The reverse shows a faint negative impression of the shield and cross motif from the obverse strike, with no intentional design, legend, or additional devices. The surface is plain save for the incuse relief, with an irregular raised rim following the outline of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Teutonic Order began striking its own coinage in Prussia following the consolidation of territorial control after the conquest of Pomerelia in 1308 — the same campaign that secured Danzig and fundamentally shifted the Order's economic base westward toward the Baltic trade networks. These thin billon bracteates circulated primarily as small-change within Order-controlled markets and toll stations, not as prestige issues. The anonymous attribution reflects institutional rather than personal authority; no Grand Master's name appears because the Order, not its leader, held minting rights.
