| Beschrijving voorzijde | A shield bearing the profile head of a griffon is set at the centre of a long cross that extends to the coin's periphery, dividing the field into four quarters. The design is rendered in a bold, medieval hammered style characteristic of North German municipal coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the central device, reading MONE CIVI STET, identifying the issuing authority as the city of Stettin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Witten was a small silver denomination that circulated widely across the southern Baltic coastal cities during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, functioning as a practical trading coin within the Hanseatic commercial network. Stettin — now Szczecin in northwestern Poland — issued its own civic coinage as a trading hub at the mouth of the Oder, and the Witten formed the backbone of everyday market transactions there. The denomination's name derives from the Low German word for "white," a reference to the freshly struck silver's bright appearance before wear and oxidation dulled it.
