Beschrijving voorzijde Frontal standing figure of the ruler, depicted in stylized romanesque fashion within a beaded inner circle, holding a spear in the right hand and a lily scepter in the left. The effigy is flanked on either side by a tower, representing the princely authority of Anhalt. Small pellets are scattered in the field around the central figure, accentuating the composition. The design is rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage, struck on a thin flan from a single die.

Aanvullende informatie

Henry I of Anhalt ruled during a period when the thin, single-sided bracteate format dominated northern German minting — a regional convention driven partly by the inferior silver available to smaller territorial lords, who could strike a larger, visually impressive disc from the same metal content as a thicker bilateral coin. These pieces circulated locally and were frequently called in for reminting, which is precisely why survivors in any condition are scarce.
