| Beschrijving voorzijde | Thin uniface bracteate struck in the characteristic Saxo-Thuringian style. At center, a architectural structure with two towers frames the composition; above the building, the half-length figure of Saint Lawrence of Rome is depicted with both arms raised in an orant gesture. Below, set within an arched recess, appears the half-length effigy of a bishop wearing a miter and holding a crozier in one hand and a Bible in the other, representing Bishop Gero of Schermke as the issuing prelate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gero of Schermke served as Bishop of Halberstadt from 1160 to 1177, a tenure marked by ongoing friction with the powerful Saxon duke Henry the Lion, whose territorial ambitions pressed hard against episcopal holdings throughout the region. Bracteates of this period were not merely convenient — the thin single-sided fabric suited the hammering techniques and silver supplies available to smaller ecclesiastical mints operating under political pressure.
The Löbbecke reference places this among a well-documented collection dispersed in the late 19th century, providing a solid provenance anchor for attribution.
