| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylized heraldic lion passant, facing left, rendered in relief within a raised inner circle. The lion's mane is depicted with hatched or striated detailing, its tail curling upward over its back, and its forepaws raised in a rampant-like posture. The image is characteristic of the Brunswick lion associated with the Welf dynasty. The field within the inner circle is plain, and the coin exhibits the typical thin, single-sided fabric of a bracteate striking. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
William of Winchester, son of Henry the Lion, ruled Brunswick after his father's final exile from the Empire in 1194. These thin, single-sided bracteates were the dominant penny coinage of northern Germany throughout the high medieval period — struck by hammering a single die through a foil-thin planchet, producing a mirror impression on the reverse. The technique was cheap and fast, but the resulting coins were fragile, which explains why undamaged survivors are scarce despite the volume originally struck.
