| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a large Gothic uncial letter 'M' — the initial of Münsterberg — centrally positioned within a raised inner ring. The letter is boldly rendered in relief with characteristic uncial form, its arched strokes clearly articulated against the flat field. The design is contained within a plain raised border, itself set within the characteristic concave dish-shaped flan typical of bracteate coinage. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-cut hammered production of the mid-fifteenth century. |
