Definition

• A name given to certain uniface coins resembling the Bracteates but containing a smaller percentage of silver. They were originally issued in the northern portions of Germany, Pommerania, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, etc., and were copied in the Rhine Provinces in the fifteenth century and received the name of Lubische Pfennige. The latter are usually found with a raised edge, by which they can easily be distinguished from the Hohlpfennige.
