| Obverse description | Equestrian effigy of Landgrave Hermann II advancing left, depicted in full armour and bearing a pennoned lance or flag in his right hand and a shield charged with a lion on his left arm. To the right of the horse stands a turreted architectural structure rendered as a three-towered building, likely representing a fortification or castle. A circular legend surrounds the entire composition within the coin's field. The design is executed in the characteristic thin-flan bracteate technique, with the relief appearing in high relief on the obverse and mirrored in intaglio on the reverse. |
