What is this?

Sorry. speak English only.

This is a bracteate from the city Magdeburg in Germany.
The picture shows Saint Moritz - the patron saint of Magdeburg.
The bracteate is probably struck between 1235-54 by archbishop Wilbrand von Käfernburg.

Thank you, DoktorBonhoff !

What's the coin value ?

Hello,

This is not one of the most common bracteates from Magdeburg.
For example, collections Bonhoff and Allertseder did not have this type.

But your coin has a low quality (it is worn).
And what has happened with the coin on the right side?
Mounted and penetrated? It doesn't look nice.
Therefore, the value is probably niot more than 10 - 20 Euro. (I would not pay more than 10 Euro)

A coin of this type with good quality (VF - EF) and without defects would probably cost at least 150-200 Euro (that is what I would like to pay).

Thank you

Hello Nemo 07.
Because this brakteat is found in the hoard of Trebitz with the tpq of 1215 the coin is a little bit older, struck around 1210 to 1215
