Beschrijving voorzijde A small hammered bracteate-style pfennig struck in thin silver, displaying a stylized bust or helmeted head in profile at the center of the field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The outer border consists of a continuous row of pellets or bosses arranged around the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. The design is executed in low relief with a crude but characteristic medieval hammered technique typical of South German minor coinage. No legend is present; the entire composition is purely pictorial.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse of this thin hammered pfennig is essentially uniface in nature, presenting the incuse mirror image of the obverse design as is characteristic of bracteate or semi-bracteate coinage of the medieval German tradition. The field shows the faint impressed negative of the central bust motif and surrounding pellet border, with no independent design, legend, or additional decorative elements struck on this side.

Aanvullende informatie

The County of Fürstenberg occupied a fragmented territorial patchwork in the Upper Rhine and Black Forest regions, and its coinage rights were exercised sporadically — often as much to assert jurisdictional independence as to meet genuine monetary demand. At 0.28g, this silver Pfennig represents the smallest practical unit the county produced, likely intended for local market transactions where petty silver still circulated alongside the billon issues of larger neighbors.
