Denier Bracteate - Hermann II

正面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
