| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of an abbot or abbatial figure, depicted in frontal view and holding a crozier in one hand and a palm branch in the other, rendered in the flat, single-sided bracteate style characteristic of twelfth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. Above the bust rises a large rounded arch surmounted by a tower, architectural elements that likely reference the abbey church of Seligenstadt. The design is executed in relief against a plain field, with no legend present. The thin flan and hammered technique result in an irregular circular outline typical of bracteate issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Seligenstadt's monetary rights derived from an imperial grant tied to the abbey's Carolingian foundation — Einhard, Charlemagne's biographer, established the original church there in the 820s. By the twelfth century, the abbey held minting privileges that produced these thin, single-sided bracteates almost exclusively for local ecclesiastical and market transactions along the Main. Hävernick's cataloguing of this type remains the authoritative reference; Berger's concordance added little beyond cross-indexing.
