| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian figure of Landgrave Hermann II depicted in profile facing left, seated on horseback and rendered in high relief as befitting bracteate technique. The Landgrave is shown in full military attire, bearing a shield charged with a lion on his left arm and holding a lance or flag in his right hand. A second flag or banner appears to the right of the mounted figure. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a raised rim, typical of Thuringian bracteate coinage of the first half of the 13th century. The overall composition is bold and stylized, with the horse and rider filling the central field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermann II was Landgrave of Thuringia during one of the most turbulent periods in German medieval politics — his tenure overlapped with the conflict between Emperor Frederick II and the papacy, and Thuringia itself became a contested prize following the extinction of the Ludowingian line in 1247, just a few years after this issue's production window closed. Bracteates of this region and period were struck on extremely thin flans deliberately, allowing a single die to produce a readable impression on both faces simultaneously — a minting technique that sacrificed durability entirely for speed and silver economy.
The Löbbecke reference ties this piece to one of the most systematically documented bracteate collections ever assembled.
