| Aversbeschreibung | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a frontally-seated ecclesiastical figure — likely the bishop — rendered in the characteristic Romanesque stylized manner. The figure is depicted enthroned, with a large, schematically rendered head featuring pronounced eyes, flanked by two volute or crozier-like staffs rising on either side, suggesting episcopal authority. The body is shown in a rigid, hieratic posture with vestments indicated by linear relief. The entire design is enclosed within a raised inner ring and a broad beaded outer border, typical of Swabian bracteate coinage of the early thirteenth century. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Conrad II of Tegerfelden served as Bishop of Constance from 1209 to 1233, a tenure that coincided with the peak of bracteate production in the upper Rhine region. These thin, single-sided strikes were produced by a diocese whose monetary authority extended across a politically fractured stretch of Swabia, where imperial oversight was effectively absent during the prolonged conflict between the Hohenstaufen and the Papacy. The striking technique — a single die pressed against a yielding substrate — demanded exceptional die craftsmanship to compensate for the fragility of the resulting fabric.
Slg. Wüthrich 232 is among the better-documented attributions for this type.
