| Additional information |
The Teutonic Order ran its Prussian mint operation with unusual autonomy for a crusading institution — the Grand Masters functioned effectively as territorial princes, issuing coinage independently of both the Holy Roman Emperor and the Polish crown. This particular anonymous denier bracteate falls within the administration of Werner von Orseln or his successor Dietrich von Altenburg, a period marked by intensifying conflict with Lithuania and growing friction with Poland that would culminate in the costly wars of the mid-fourteenth century. At 0.17 g, these pieces were struck on foil-thin flans, making survivors without cracks or edge losses genuinely difficult to find.
