| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal enthroned figure of King Adolf of Nassau rendered in high relief against a plain field, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The king is depicted full-face in regal posture, holding a lily-tipped scepter in one hand and an imperial orb in the other, the robes falling symmetrically to either side of the throne. The design is executed in the characteristic thin, uniface bracteate technique, with the figure modeled in bold relief typical of late 13th-century Rhenish coinage. No legend is present, the type relying entirely on the iconic royal imagery for attribution. The flan is irregular and slightly cusped at the rim, consistent with hand-struck bracteates of the Frankfurt mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adolf of Nassau's reign as King of the Romans lasted just six years before the Electoral princes — dissatisfied with his military failures and perceived abandonment of their interests — took the extraordinary step of formally deposing him in 1298, the first such deposition of a sitting German king. He died at the Battle of Göllheim weeks later, fighting his own successor. The Frankfurt mint operated under royal prerogative during this window, and output was limited by both the brevity of the reign and the political instability that defined it.
Bracteates of this type are struck on such thin flans that die alignment and centering vary considerably across surviving examples.
