Denier Bracteate lion

正面描述	Within a raised inner circle bordered by a beaded outer rim, a rampant lion passant guardant facing right, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner with the body covered in pellet-like bosses suggesting fur or scales, the tail curling upward over the back. The figure is depicted in high relief against a sunken field, characteristic of bracteate coinage struck on a thin flan from a single die. No legend or inscription is present.

附加信息	Memmingen's civic coinage authority in this period was fragile — the city was still consolidating independence from the Guelphs and navigating competing claims from the Bishop of Augsburg. These thin, single-sided bracteates were the dominant small-change technology of southern German towns in the mid-thirteenth century precisely because they required half the silver of a struck denier while maintaining a usable diameter for commerce. At 0.52g, the flan is punishingly delicate; most survivors show some degree of cracking or distortion from circulation stress inherent to the bracteate format.
