| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length frontal effigy of Sophia of Brabant, depicted wearing a crown-like headdress, her mantle fastened at the chest by a fibula in the form of a four-petalled rosette. The figure holds a banner staff in one hand and a book in the other, rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century German bracteate-influenced coinage. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend +SOFIA DVCIS B identifying the regent. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Architectural composition depicting a multi-towered fortified structure with three towers rising above a gabled house or gate building; a single dot appears on the gable front as a decorative or heraldic detail. The structure is rendered in the schematic, linear style typical of medieval German bracteate-era pfennigs, with the towers clearly articulated above the roofline. The surrounding field carries the Latin legend +VRANCENEC, referencing the town of Frankenberg in Hesse, which served as the mint place under Sophia's regency. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sophia of Brabant held Thuringia in regency for her young son Henry I of Hesse after the Thuringian War of Succession tore the landgraviate apart following her father Ludwig IV's death. The coinage she issued was never uncontested — rival claimants from the Wettin dynasty controlled significant portions of the territory simultaneously, meaning coins struck in her name and those of her opponents circulated in direct competition within overlapping regions.
The Schütz I#3.3 classification places this among the earliest documented issues of what would eventually become the Landgraviate of Hesse.
