Denier Bracteate

Regenstein was a minor Harz comital dynasty whose minting rights derived from imperial grant, likely in the twelfth century, though the precise privilege documentation is fragmentary. Bracteates of this region circulated within a remarkably confined monetary zone — the Harz and its immediate foothills — where thin single-sided silver served local market exchange rather than long-distance trade.

At 0.48g, this falls toward the lighter end of Harz bracteate production, consistent with progressive weight reduction seen across the region's issues through the thirteenth century.
