Bracteate `Hulpenning` - Erik of Pomerania

正面描述	Central device comprising a stylized royal crown with three fleurs-de-lis finials and pellet ornaments adorning the upper band, all rendered in relief against a flat field characteristic of bracteate production. The crown's arched base displays incuse linear detailing. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded or pellet border near the irregular hammered rim. No legend is present; the composition is entirely emblematic, reflecting the minimalist iconographic convention of late medieval Danish pennings.

附加信息	Erik of Pomerania inherited the Danish throne through his great-aunt Margaret I, who effectively ruled as regent until her death in 1412 and was the true architect of the Kalmar Union binding Denmark, Norway, and Sweden under a single crown. Erik's own reign unraveled badly — his aggressive toll policies at the Øresund, combined with chronic wars against the Holstein nobility, triggered a Hanseatic trade embargo and eventually a multi-kingdom revolt that forced his deposition in 1439. The hulpenning, a fractional bracteate struck on a thin wafer of silver, was the workaday small change of that turbulent administration.
