| Beschrijving keerzijde | As is characteristic of bracteate coinage, the reverse presents a uniface blank field displaying the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with no intentional design, legend, or device struck on this side. The thin hammered silver flan shows the impressed shadow of the obverse lion and border rings in intaglio relief, confirming the single-die striking technique standard for bracteates of this period and region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bernhard III inherited the Duchy of Saxony in 1180 only because Henry the Lion had been stripped of his territories by Frederick Barbarossa — the duchy itself was a political remnant, carved down and redistributed after one of the most consequential princely forfeitures of the medieval German realm. Bracteates of this period are structurally fragile by nature: struck on a single thin flan with a single die, they survive intact far less often than double-sided coinage of comparable age.
Berger 1823 is among the thinner-documented types in the Saxon bracteate sequence.
