| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bearded bust of Sigismund of Luxemburg within a circular border, rendered in a crude medieval style typical of small hammered Silesian coinage. The portrait is depicted with long hair and a beard, occupying the central field of the flan. A mintmark appears within the surrounding legend. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered production methods of early 15th-century Breslau. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sigismund's tenure over Silesia was administratively turbulent — he had pawned the region to his Hohenzollern creditors and spent much of this period managing the Hussite wars raging across Bohemia, which disrupted trade routes directly feeding Breslau's merchant economy. The city's right to strike these small-denomination hellers operated under royal privilege, and Breslau jealously guarded that privilege against periodic royal attempts to consolidate minting authority.
At 0.35 g, these were the smallest transactional unit in daily Silesian commerce, subject to heavy wear and frequent clipping.
