| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a stylized crowned figure or heraldic device — consistent with the Danish royal arms — rendered in bold relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. The motif, depicting what appears to be a crowned bust or lion passant with outstretched limbs, is set within a double linear circle. The surrounding border exhibits an irregular scalloped or beaded edge produced by the hammered striking technique. The design is executed in the simplified, flattened aesthetic typical of 13th–14th century Baltic bracteates. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
