| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of a bishop wearing a mitre, depicted frontally in low relief within a beaded inner circle. To the left of the figure, a fleur-de-lis (lily); to the right, a crozier with volute head. The bust is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of 13th-century bracteate coinage, set against a plain field. The coin is struck within a beaded outer border following the irregular circular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eberhard II governed the Bishopric of Constance during one of the more turbulent stretches of the Imperial Interregnum — the period following Frederick II's death in 1250 when central Hohenstaufen authority disintegrated and episcopal mints across Swabia operated with unusual independence. The bracteate format, by this point already archaic in much of Europe, persisted stubbornly in the German-speaking lands precisely because local ecclesiastical authorities found it practical for small-denomination regional exchange.
At 0.48g, this is a wafer-thin uniface strike demanding careful handling — bracteates of this weight class are notoriously prone to cracking along die edges, and surviving examples without flan damage are genuinely uncommon.
