| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a rampant lion passant to the right, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of 12th-century German bracteate coinage, enclosed within a double beaded inner circle. The lion, heraldic emblem of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, is shown with raised forepaw and prominent tail curling upward, with fine detail in the mane and musculature. A small annulet appears in the field to the left of the lion. The circumferential legend HENRICVS DVX runs around the inner border in incuse Latin lettering, as is typical of single-sided bracteate manufacture. The thin silver flan displays slight irregularity at the periphery consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin silver flan, producing a mirror-image incuse impression on the reverse of the obverse design. The reverse therefore shows the negative relief of the rampant lion and surrounding legend, with no independent design or inscription. The surface retains the characteristic concave form of bracteate coinage, with the impressed contours of the lion and beaded border clearly visible in intaglio. The plain, unworked nature of the reverse is an inherent feature of bracteate production technique. |
