The figure is rendered in the Romanesque style typical of mid-13th century south German bracteates. The outer border is decorated with alternating crosses and small squares forming a continuous decorative ring around the central effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Weingarten Abbey's minting rights derived from imperial grants, and by the mid-thirteenth century the house was producing these thin, single-sided bracteates as the dominant small change of the upper Swabian region. The type coincides with a period of intense rivalry between Guelph-aligned ecclesiastical mints and Hohenstaufen imperial interests — Weingarten, with its deep Guelph associations and its relic of the Holy Blood, occupied an unusually politicized position for a monastic issuer.
At 0.49g spread across 29mm, the fabric is exceptionally fragile, and undamaged examples are genuinely difficult to source.
