| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate featuring a centrally placed ornate cross with a globular central boss, the arms of the cross terminating in stylized fleur-de-lis-like finials and flanked by small pellets in the quarters. The central device is enclosed within a plain inner border, itself surrounded by a rope or cable border and an outer beaded border. A partial Latin legend reading ISENAC (for Eisenach) is visible along the upper periphery between the borders, referencing the mint of issue. The fabric is thin and slightly irregular in outline, characteristic of thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century Thuringian bracteate production. |
