| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian figure of the count advancing to right, depicted in profile astride a walking horse, with right hand raised in a gesture of authority; the rider wears a helmet with a distinctive crest or nasal guard and a flowing mantle. A crenellated tower or gatehouse is depicted in the field to the left, serving as an architectural symbol of lordship. The entire composition is set within a beaded inner circle typical of Thuringian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. The design is executed in high relief in the bracteate technique, with the image struck from a single die on a thin, broad flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Günther IV ruled Schwarzburg-Blankenburg during a period when bracteate production in Thuringia was at its peak, with dozens of small ecclesiastical and secular lords each maintaining their own issues — thin, fragile, and almost never traveling far from the region of their minting. The extreme thinness of this fabric makes clean strikes the exception; most surviving examples show some degree of cracking or peripheral loss simply from the mechanics of the hammering process.
Gaettens 975 is among the less frequently traded Schwarzburg bracteate references.
