| Beschrijving voorzijde | Mantled half-length figure of Saint Maurice (Moritz) depicted facing, rendered in the Romanesque style characteristic of mid-twelfth-century German bracteates. The saint is shown in frontal bust, draped in a mantle, his right hand raised bearing a palm branch — the traditional martyr's attribute — while his left hand holds an elaborate double-cross staff. The design is struck in high relief on a thin, single-sided flan, with the image appearing in incuse on the reverse as is typical of bracteate coinage. |

Wichmann of Seeburg governed Magdeburg from 1152 until his death in 1192, one of the longer episcopates of the period, and used that stability to develop the city into a significant commercial hub on the Elbe. Bracteates — struck on a single thin flan from one die, the image pressing through to the reverse as a mirror impression — were the dominant coinage technology in northern and central Germany throughout the twelfth century, largely replacing double-sided deniers in the region. The type recorded under Mehl Magd#244 is among the more precisely attributed issues of this reign, the Bonhomme concordance confirming the die grouping.
