| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver, displaying in the central field a crossed sword and key arranged diagonally, with the sword pointing to the right and the key oriented to the lower left, forming a saltire-like composition. A single pellet appears above the crossing point of the two emblems, serving as a distinguishing mark. The entire device is contained within a border of large raised pellets encircling the full perimeter of the flan. The design is rendered in the characteristic flat, incuse relief of bracteate coinage, with the reverse showing a mirror-image impression of the obverse motifs. No legend or inscription is present, identifying this as an anonymous issue of the Bishopric of Dorpat. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Dorpat — established in 1224 following the Northern Crusades and the forcible conversion of the Estonian and Livonian tribes — issued bracteate deniers as its primary small coinage throughout the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. These thin, single-sided pieces were struck on blanks so fragile that double-striking and off-center examples are endemic to the type. Haljak's classification separates the Dorpat bracteates by symbol combinations, with the sword and key pairing reflecting the dual episcopal authority — temporal and spiritual — claimed by the bishop-princes of this frontier diocese.
