| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of a bishop in high relief, wearing a jewelled mitra adorned with a row of pellets along the crown. The figure holds a palm branch in the left hand and a crozier in the right, both rendered in a stylised, archaic manner characteristic of 13th-century episcopal bracteates. The bust is contained within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a prominent outer border of large raised pellets. No legend is present; the field is otherwise plain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eberhard II served as Bishop of Constance from 1248 to 1274, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Hohenstaufen succession crisis and the interregnum that followed Conrad IV's death in 1254. Bracteates of this type were struck on foil-thin flans, a technique favored across the upper Rhine and Swabian regions during the thirteenth century precisely because it allowed ecclesiastical mints to stretch silver supplies while maintaining a recognizable, if fragile, coinage. Most examples that survive have suffered edge cracks or flan stress inherent to the manufacturing method.
