Descrizione del rovescio	Uniface bracteate; the reverse exhibits the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is inherent to the bracteate (Hohlpfennig) manufacturing technique in which a single thin flan is struck from one die only. The surface is plain and unadorned, showing the characteristic concave depression and flan stress marks typical of hammered bracteate coinage from the Baltic region during the Danish period.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Danish Estonia's monetary situation was administratively awkward from the start — the territory conquered by Valdemar II in 1219 was never fully integrated into Danish monetary infrastructure, leaving local ecclesiastical and secular authorities to issue thin bracteate deniers of purely regional utility. These coins circulated almost exclusively within the confines of Reval and its immediate hinterland, rarely traveling further. At 0.12 g, the fabric is so thin that surviving examples are frequently bent or cracked, which makes the Haljak II#4 attribution dependent on fragmentary specimens more often than not.
