| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate struck in thin silver sheet presenting a highly stylized frontal face or mask design within a beaded inner circle, itself enclosed within a plain outer rim. The central motif depicts a schematic human visage with broad, arc-shaped eyebrows rendered as raised curved ridges, flanked on each side by two globules representing eyes or decorative pellets. Below the facial feature, a prominent vertical element composed of three parallel strokes descends toward the lower field, suggestive of a stylized beard or architectural feature. The overall design is deeply struck in the primitive Romanesque idiom characteristic of Polish ecclesiastical bracteates of the early thirteenth century, with the relief appearing in mirror image on the reverse as is typical of the bracteate technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gerard was the second abbot of Wąchock, a Cistercian abbey founded in 1179 in the Świętokrzyskie region of Lesser Poland. Cistercian minting rights in medieval Poland were granted by ducal privilege, and Wąchock is among the very few Polish abbey mints whose output can be attributed to a specific named abbot with reasonable certainty. At 0.071g, these bracteates are extraordinarily thin — single-die struck on a flan of hammered silver sheet, a technique that makes clean survivors exceptionally difficult to find.
