| Obverse description | Bust of the ruler facing right, holding a sceptre, with a small circular pellet or annulet positioned before the forehead. The hair or hood is rendered in a stylized ladder-like pattern, conveying a primitive yet distinctive medieval artistic style. The entire design is enclosed within a rough pearl border. No legend present; the type relies entirely on the figurative motif for identification. |

| Additional information |
Egino V ruled the Breisgau during a period when the Zähringen dynasty had just collapsed — Duke Berthold V died without heirs in 1218, fragmenting his territories among several regional lords and leaving the upper Rhine politically scrambled. Egino's coinage fills part of that vacuum, issued from a county asserting itself in the aftermath of dynastic extinction. The Wielandt reference places this firmly in the local Breisgau sequence rather than the broader Swabian tradition.
