| Beschrijving voorzijde | Centrally placed Moravian eagle displayed, with wings spread and head turned to the right, bearing a horizontally striped shield on its breast. The design is rendered in bold relief in the Gothic style typical of Moravian municipal coinage of the mid-15th century. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hammered pfennig coinage. No surrounding legend is present, the eagle filling the entire field. The strike is moderately well-centred with clear detail on the breast shield and wing feathers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brno held the right to mint its own coinage intermittently throughout the medieval period, a privilege that put it in periodic conflict with the Bohemian royal mint authority. The years bracketing this issue — 1439 to 1452 — span the contested reign of Ladislaus the Posthumous, during which Moravian cities operated with unusual autonomy precisely because central authority was fractured by dynastic uncertainty following the death of Albert II.
Cach 460 is among the more precisely attributed of the Brno municipal issues, which as a group suffer from notoriously difficult provenance due to their small module and the tendency of medieval Moravian hoards to commingle civic and royal pfennigs.
