| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate displaying a facing human head in high relief, rendered in a stylized medieval manner typical of Hessian pfennig coinage of the fourteenth century. The face is depicted frontally with schematically modeled eyes, nose, and mouth, framed by flowing hair or foliage-like projections extending to either side. The head is set within a plain inner border, itself encircled by a raised outer rim. The thin, uniface flan shows the characteristic irregular edge and slight fabric distortion associated with hammered bracteate technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry II of Hessen ruled during a period of aggressive territorial consolidation, repeatedly clashing with the archbishops of Mainz over fiscal and jurisdictional control of the Hessian heartland. These thin, single-sided bracteates were a distinctly central German monetary form by this point — practical for local exchange but poorly suited to prolonged handling, which is precisely why intact surviving examples tend to show minimal wear despite their age. The fabric is unforgiving; edge splits and flan irregularities are the norm, not exceptions.
