Denier Bracteate Reval

Danish Estonia's coinage authority in Reval (modern Tallinn) produced these thin, single-sided bracteates following the 1219 conquest of northern Estonia by Valdemar II — a campaign that began as a crusade and ended as an annexation. The extreme thinness of the flan, a consequence of the bracteate technique, makes clean strikes exceptionally rare; most surviving examples show some degree of double-striking or flan cracking inherent to the type.

Haljak II#8 places this among the earliest documented coinage of the region, predating the transfer of Danish Estonia to the Teutonic Order in 1346 following the St. George's Night Uprising.
