| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a standing figure, likely an ecclesiastical personage or saint, rendered in a crude, archaic style typical of medieval hammered bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The figure appears robed, with details suggesting a frontal presentation. The surrounding field is plain with irregular flan edges characteristic of hand-struck medieval coinage. The die work is bold but worn, consistent with small hammered silver issues of the Abbey of Weissenburg. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Weissenburg — Wissembourg in Alsace — was one of the great Carolingian monasteries, granted extensive minting rights that persisted fitfully through the medieval period. These small silver pfennigs represent the abbey exercising those privileges at a highly local level, likely produced for market tolls and monastic transactions rather than broad circulation. Survival is poor; the thin fabric and low silver weight made them vulnerable to both wear and the melting pot.
