Denier Bracteate Reval

正面描述	Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet. Central device depicts a stylized frontal crowned face rendered in a highly schematic, archaic manner typical of medieval Baltic bracteates, with the crown indicated by projecting elements above the head. The effigy is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself set within a raised outer border ring. The design is bold and linear, with no legible inscription in the field.

附加信息	Danish Estonia's coinage experiment was brief and administratively chaotic. Reval — present-day Tallinn — was founded as a Danish fortress town in 1219, and these thin, fragile bracteates circulated in a territory the Danish crown never fully controlled, contested continuously by the Livonian Order and local Estonian tribes. At 0.12 grams, the striking process for pieces this thin was unforgiving; the single-punch technique that defines bracteate production meant dies wore rapidly and alignment was rarely precise. The Haljak II#5 reference places this among the earliest documented coinage of the Baltic region, predating the consolidation of Livonian monetary systems by at least a generation.
