Beschrijving voorzijde 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.

Beschrijving keerzijde As a bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin flan, producing an incuse mirror image of the obverse design on the reverse. The reverse accordingly displays the heraldic lily in concave negative relief, with the raised circular border appearing as a corresponding depression. The surface shows the characteristic concavity of the bracteate technique, with the flan thinning toward the irregular, crenellated edge.

Aanvullende informatie

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.
