| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crowned lion passant with a human face turned to the left, depicted in relief within a sunken inner circle, characteristic of bracteate single-sided striking. The leonine body is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner with raised forepaws and a curling tail, while the crowned anthropomorphic head lends the figure a regal, heraldic quality. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border that frames the raised field. The thin flan and sharp single-sided relief are typical of German bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bracteates of this type were produced in the fragmented minting landscape of the 13th-century Empire, where territorial lords, bishops, and abbots each exercised independent mint rights granted or tolerated by the crown. The result was a currency system of deliberately local reach — bracteates were intentionally thin and fragile, unsuited to long-distance trade, which effectively kept coin circulation tethered to regional economies.
The years 1230–1240 fall squarely within Frederick II's prolonged absences from Germany, when imperial authority over minting was at its most diffuse.
