| Obverse description | A heraldic fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief characteristic of 13th-century bracteate coinage. The motif displays the three lobes of the lily in stylized form, with the upper petal rising prominently above two flanking lateral petals and a lower rounded base element. The design is enclosed within a raised circular border that defines the inner field. The flan is thin and irregular at the periphery, as is typical of hammered bracteate production. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Additional information |
Demmin's status as a significant trading center on the Peene River made municipal coinage a practical necessity by the thirteenth century, and thin bracteate deniers of this type circulated widely across the Pomeranian hinterland. The extreme fragility of bracteate fabric — struck on a single die against a leather or lead cushion — means survivors with full, uncracked flans are genuinely scarce at this module.
