| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of the abbot in pontifical vestments, depicted frontally within a beaded inner circle. The figure wears a mitre surmounted by a central tower or architectural element flanked by two smaller towers or turrets, evoking the abbey's ecclesiastical authority. To either side of the bust, the abbot holds a crozier (pastoral staff) with a voluted head on the left and what appears to be a book or reliquary on the right. The facial features are rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner with simple linear detailing. The entire composition is characteristic of the single-sided bracteate technique, with the design struck in high relief from a single thin silver flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Conrad III von Malkes served as Abbot of Fulda from 1221 to 1249, presiding during a period when the abbey's political position was increasingly strained between imperial authority and the ambitions of neighboring secular lords. Fulda's mint rights, originally granted by Carolingian privilege, were repeatedly contested during this period, making the issuance of bracteates like this one as much a political assertion as a practical currency.
Berger 2289 is among the thinner-documented types in the Fulda bracteate sequence — surviving examples are scarce enough that die linkage studies remain incomplete.
