Berno held the see of Hildesheim from 1190 to 1194, a tenure short enough that his bracteate issues are among the scarcest of the entire Hildesheim episcopal sequence. The Löbbecke reference traces to the collection of Arthur Löbbecke, whose systematic cataloguing of north German bracteates in the late nineteenth century remains the foundational authority for this material.
Bracteate production in the Hildesheim region reflected a broader Lower Saxon monetary convention — these single-sided, wafer-thin coins were struck on flans so fragile that uncreased survivors at this diameter are genuinely uncommon.
