| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central motif depicting a tower, above which three pellets are arranged in a row. Flanking the tower on either side, a lion's head faces outward in profile. Four pellets are distributed symmetrically in the outer field surrounding the central design. The composition reflects the heraldic imagery associated with the Landgraviate of Hessen under Henry I, rendered in the thin, one-sided bracteate tradition characteristic of medieval German coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry I of Hessen ruled from 1264 until his death in 1308, consolidating the Landgraviate through a series of territorial acquisitions and feudal disputes that kept his treasury under near-constant pressure. Bracteates of this period were not prestige issues — they were workhorses, struck thin and light precisely because silver was scarce and debasement had to be managed across competing regional coinages in the Rhineland and Thuringia.
The single-sided striking technique made bracteates inherently fragile, and few survive without cracking or distortion along the edges.
