| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a double pearl border, the nimbed bust of Saint Maurice facing front, bare-headed, clad in armor with a shoulder cloak, raising a sword in his right hand and holding a vexillum (banner with cloth facing outward) in his left. Three pellets appear in the field beside the sword; a ball cross and a ring are placed beneath the banner. A double-lined trefoil arch surmounts the figure, spanning between two flanking domed towers set above a crenellated wall, with a larger domed tower bearing lateral extensions rising at the apex. The Latin legend SC - S MAVRICIVS DVX runs between the inner and outer pearl circles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wichmann von Seeburg served as Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1152 until his death in 1192, a remarkably long tenure during which he rebuilt the city's infrastructure, expanded colonization east of the Elbe, and maintained a delicate political balance between Frederick Barbarossa and the Saxon nobility following Henry the Lion's fall from imperial favor in 1180. Bracteates of this period reflect Magdeburg's growing commercial reach into Slavic territories — thin-flan silver coinage circulated aggressively through markets the archbishopric was actively working to dominate.
