| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a true bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse, recessed mirror image of the obverse lion passant motif, formed naturally by the single-sided striking technique on an extremely thin silver flan. The concave surface reveals the same heraldic lion in intaglio, with the surrounding border ring also visible in negative relief. No independent reverse design or legend is present, consistent with bracteate coinage of the Brunswick-Luneburg region during this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Joint issues from Brunswick-Lüneburg are chronologically awkward to pin down precisely because the duchy operated under the Hausgenossenschaft system of partible inheritance, meaning brothers and cousins routinely co-ruled overlapping territories simultaneously. Henry 'the Admirable' and Albrecht 'the Fat' were sons of Albrecht 'the Great' of the Brunswick line, and their joint coinage reflects the period before territorial divisions hardened into distinct monetary authorities.
The bracteate format was already archaic by the late 13th century across much of the Empire, but Brunswick mints clung to it well into the 14th — a conservatism that complicates attribution when die sequences cross reign boundaries.
