| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, depicting the Landgrave Hermann II as an armored equestrian figure facing right, mounted on a walking horse rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner. The rider is shown in profile, wearing a conical helmet and bearing a lance or staff, with architectural or heraldic elements visible above. The central design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, surrounded by a plain outer rim. The abbreviated legend H - E - R - I, referencing the issuer's name, is distributed across the field around the equestrian motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermann II served as Landgrave of Thuringia during one of the most turbulent successions in the region's medieval history, inheriting a disputed claim and ruling through a period of chronic instability that included the Ludowingian dynasty's gradual collapse. He died in 1241 without a male heir, triggering the Thuringian War of Succession that effectively ended the landgraviate as an independent political entity. Bracteates of this reign are characteristically thin and fragile — a deliberate consequence of single-die striking — and survivors without cracking or peripheral loss are genuinely uncommon.
