Denier Bracteate - Anonymous Sword right, key left and down

Descrizione del dritto	Uniface bracteate type struck on a thin, irregularly-shaped flan. The central device depicts a sword and a key crossed diagonally, the sword oriented toward the upper right and the key directed toward the lower left, their shafts intersecting at the center of the field. The key bow is rendered in a schematic, rectilinear style, while the sword pommel and hilt are discernible at the lower left. The entire composition is enclosed by a raised beaded border running along the coin's periphery, consistent with the anonymous episcopal issues of the Bishopric of Dorpat.

Descrizione del rovescio	Uniface bracteate; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage produced by hammering a single die through a thin silver flan. The incuse impression shows the crossed sword and key motif in negative relief, with the beaded border visible in corresponding incuse form around the periphery.
