| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate issue displaying a stylized imperial eagle with wings displayed and head turned to the left, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Frankfurt municipal coinage. The eagle, symbol of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, occupies the central field with spread wings and prominent feather detail. The design is enclosed within a beaded border formed by a ring of raised pellets arranged around the inner circumference of the irregular flan. The overall style is consistent with late medieval German hammered bracteate technique, with the design appearing in incuse on the reverse as is typical of the series. |
