Denier Bracteate - Henry I

正面描述	Facing bust of Bishop Heinrich I in high relief, depicted frontally within an elaborate Romanesque architectural framework composed of towers and arched arcading. The bishop holds a processional standard surmounted by a cross in each hand, rendered with bold, stylized lines characteristic of 13th-century German bracteate coinage. The architectural canopy above the figure features flanking turrets, emphasizing the ecclesiastical authority of the issuer. The overall composition fills the broad, thin flan typical of the bracteate technique, with the design struck in high relief on one side only.

附加信息	Henry I of Hildesheim governed the diocese during a period when the Welfen-Staufen conflict had largely burned itself out, leaving northern German ecclesiastical lords with unusual room to consolidate local coinage rights. Bracteates from Hildesheim in this decade are notably thin even by the standard of the type, which makes die-splits and peripheral cracking a recurring problem — not a strike deficiency, but a structural consequence of the hammering process on such fine flans. Berger 1125 is among the better-documented attributions for the series.
