| Obverse description | Thin silver bracteate struck on a single die, featuring a stylized lion passant to the right in high relief, rendered in the characteristic bold and somewhat schematic artistic style of 13th-century Lower Saxon bracteate coinage. The lion displays a prominent mane, curling tail raised over its back, and pellet-adorned body. Above the lion's back appears a small architectural or heraldic element, possibly a tower or helm device, referencing the heraldic traditions of the House of Welf. The design is contained within a raised inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad, flat rim typical of bracteate fabric. |
