| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver, displaying a stylized crowned royal symbol at centre within a plain inner circle. The design features a schematic crown surmounting a simple angular monogram or initial, rendered in a crude but distinctive hammered style typical of late medieval Scandinavian bracteate coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with the bracteate technique. No surrounding legend is present; the letter 'A' appears as the sole inscription, likely referencing the Åbo mint. The overall execution is characteristic of the small-denomination hulpenning coinage issued under Karl Knutsson Bonde. |
