| Beschrijving voorzijde | A large Gothic letter S occupies the central field, rendered in bold uncial style and enclosed within a raised solid ring border. The flan is thin and slightly concave, characteristic of bracteate coinage, with an irregular hammered edge. The design is executed in high relief with the S dominating the entire inner field. No legend or additional devices are present; the composition is austere and purely typological. The surface retains natural silver tone with areas of light patination consistent with medieval hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnus IV — known as Magnus Eriksson — lost the Swedish throne to his nephew Albrecht of Mecklenburg in late 1363 following decades of baronial opposition, financial mismanagement, and territorial losses to Denmark. This issue falls precisely within that collapse, struck either in the final months of his reign or as part of a transitional emission as control of the kingdom changed hands. Bracteates of this type were already archaic by the mid-fourteenth century, a survival of an older Scandinavian minting tradition persisting in the margins of a crumbling reign.
