| 表面の説明 | Central design featuring a bold wheel or rota motif enclosed within a raised inner circle, the spokes of the wheel dividing the field into quadrants each containing a stylized six-pointed star or fleuron in relief. The entire central device is surrounded by a border of raised pellets arranged around the outer rim, characteristic of Baltic bracteate coinage of the mid-to-late 13th century. The flan is irregular in shape with slightly uneven edges, typical of hand-hammered production. No legend or inscription is present. The strike is moderately well-centered with good relief on the central motif. |

| 裏面の説明 | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the negative impression of the wheel motif and surrounding pellet border pressed through the thin flan during striking. Three stylized star or fleuron forms are visible in the quadrants as sunken recesses corresponding to the raised obverse devices. The surface is flat and shows the characteristic concave relief of bracteate technique. No inscription or additional decorative elements are present on the reverse. |

The Bishopric of Courland was established in 1245 following the Northern Crusades, carved out of territories forcibly converted by the Livonian Order. These thin, single-sided bracteates circulated in a region where German ecclesiastical and military authority was imposed over Baltic peoples who had no prior tradition of coinage — meaning the monetary economy these coins served was itself a colonial imposition, only a generation old when striking began.
The Haljak reference remaining unassigned signals how poorly documented this type remains. Baltic bracteates of this period survive in small numbers, most recovered archaeologically rather than through old collections.
