Pfennig - Anonymous

Descrizione del dritto	A plain cross with equal arms divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a small annulet; the whole design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The flan exhibits four characteristic pinched indentations at the cardinal points, typical of Basel episcopal bracteate-related issues of the early 13th century. No legend or inscription is present.

Informazioni aggiuntive	The Bishopric of Basel's bracteate pfennigs from this period were struck under episcopal authority during a stretch of sustained conflict between the bishop and the city's burghers over municipal autonomy — tensions that would eventually produce Basel's gradual transition toward the Swiss Confederacy. Anonymous attribution was standard for minor ecclesiastical issues of this weight class in the Upper Rhine region, making die-link studies the primary tool for narrowing attribution within the HMZ sequence.
