| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device consisting of a rectangular frame enclosing a cross with stepped or squared arms, flanked by two smaller cross-shaped extensions projecting laterally from the sides of the central rectangle, forming a composite cruciform arrangement. A small star or pellet appears to the right of the central device in the field. The entire design is set within a plain incuse circular border, characteristic of bracteate coinage struck on a thin flan. The design is deeply impressed in low relief with a somewhat crude, angular execution typical of Teutonic Order minor coinage of the mid-fourteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Teutonic Order's Prussian bracteate issues of the mid-fourteenth century were minted under the authority of the Hochmeister, functioning as the Order's internal monetary instrument across its Baltic territories rather than as trade coinage. The years 1345–1353 bracket the tenures of Ludolf König and Heinrich Dusemer, a period of sustained military pressure from Lithuania and ongoing friction with the Polish Crown that would eventually culminate in the Order's catastrophic defeat at Grunwald in 1410.
At 0.25 g, these are among the lightest billon issues in the Order's coinage sequence — the thin flan was a practical compromise given chronic silver shortages in Prussia during this decade.
