| Additional information |
Eilenburg's bracteates from this period were struck under Otto I of Meissen's cadet line, during a phase when the thin-flan, single-die technique had become the dominant minting convention across Saxon and Thuringian territories. The technology demanded extraordinary skill — any uneven hammer blow would split the flan or produce an illegible ghost impression on the reverse. Surviving specimens with full, uncracked flans are genuinely uncommon.
