| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing frontal bust of St. Peter rendered in bold relief, the saint depicted bearded with curling hair, holding a large key upright to the right in his right hand. The figure is shown from approximately the waist upward in a simplified, stylized Gothic manner characteristic of Silesian municipal coinage of the early fifteenth century. No legend is present; the design fills the irregular flan with the key serving as the principal heraldic attribute of the patron saint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liegnitz operated as a semi-autonomous Piast duchy within Silesia throughout the fifteenth century, and the city's right to strike small silver bracteate-derived fractions like this heller was a privilege fiercely guarded against encroachment by both the Bohemian crown and neighboring lordships. The date range spans the tenure of several overlapping ducal administrations, meaning attribution of individual pieces to a specific issuing moment remains contested among Silesian specialists.
At 0.28 g, attrition from even modest circulation was destructive, and survivors in collectible condition are disproportionately rare relative to the volume presumably struck.
