| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, the reverse presents a mirror-image incuse impression of the obverse design, showing the negative relief of the frontal episcopal bust, mitre, and flanking foliate scrolls. The pellet border is visible in partial relief on the reverse. The thin, hammered flan displays the characteristic fragility and irregular outline typical of bracteate coinage from the Swabian region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eberhard II governed the Bishopric of Constance during one of its most politically turbulent stretches — the Interregnum of 1254–1273, when the Holy Roman Empire effectively lacked a functioning emperor and regional ecclesiastical lords operated with unusual autonomy. Bracteates of this type were struck on extraordinarily thin flans, a technology demanding skilled die-cutters, and the single-sided fabric meant that even moderate handling collapsed the relief. The Waldburg-Thann family connection reflects the tangled relationship between secular dynastic interests and episcopal office in thirteenth-century Swabia.
