| Aversbeschreibung | Two enthroned figures — identified as emperor and empress — seated facing one another on either side of a cruciform staff mounted on a rounded base, rendered in the flat, single-sided bracteate style characteristic of 12th–13th century German ecclesiastical coinage. The composition is enclosed within a double pelleted border, the inner of which is surmounted by three architectural turrets, evoking a stylised city wall or palace facade. The figures are depicted in formal, frontal posture with regal attributes, consistent with the Romanesque artistic conventions of the Hohnstein mint. The overall design field is broad relative to the thin flan, typical of large-diameter bracteates of this period. |

Hohnstein was a minor Saxon county whose coinage output was modest even by regional standards, but the bracteate series produced under Elgerus III falls within a broader explosion of thin-flan silver coinage across the German lands during the late 12th and early 13th centuries — a format that dominated Thuringian and Saxon circulation precisely because it was cheap to produce and easy to clip for smaller transactions. The Seega hoard reference places this type among coins recovered from a find context that has been critical for establishing bracteate chronologies in lower Saxony.
