Denier Bracteate - Conrad II and Henry I

Hildesheim's bracteate coinage of this period falls within the episcopates of Conrad II (1221–1246) and Henry I (1246–1257), a stretch during which the bishopric actively defended its minting rights against encroachment from the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. The thin, single-sided fabric of bracteates makes die attribution genuinely difficult, and the shared attribution to two consecutive bishops reflects unresolved questions about where exactly the series breaks.

Berger 1150.2 is among the rarer numbered varieties in that sequence.
