| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length figure of an archbishop standing in frontal position, flanked by two towers, vested in ecclesiastical robes and wearing a mitra. The right hand holds a crozier and the left hand bears a lily scepter. The composition is rendered in the characteristic high-relief thin-flan style of medieval German bracteate coinage, with the architectural flanking elements framing the central hieratic figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wilbrand of Käfernburg's tenure as Archbishop of Magdeburg coincided with sustained conflict between the archbishopric and the surrounding Ascanian margraves over territorial jurisdiction east of the Elbe — a rivalry that made independent coin production a matter of political as much as economic necessity. Bracteates of this region and period were struck on exceptionally thin flans, making survival in any collectible condition genuinely uncommon. The Berger and Bonhomme references both document significant die variation across Wilbrand's issues, and specimens attributable to this type should be cross-checked against Mehl's die census before firm attribution.
