| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate (Hohlpfennig) struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a frontal facing head of an abbess or saintly figure set within a beaded inner circle. The effigy features a stylized, schematic visage with pronounced globular eyes, a broad nose, and a wide mouth, surmounted by a crown or nimbus adorned with three pellets. To the left of the head, a palm frond or stylized lily sceptre; to the right, a processional cross with globular terminals. Additional pellets are arranged symmetrically below the chin. The outer border is formed by an irregular scalloped rim decorated with a series of small stars, crosses, pellets, and crescent ornaments in the Romanesque bracteate tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Kempten was among the most politically assertive ecclesiastical mints in Swabia, and its bracteate issues from the early thirteenth century reflect a house actively defending its imperial privileges during the turbulent reign of Henry III of Kempten as abbot. The "Hildegard Brakteat" designation derives from later collector tradition rather than any contemporary source, a naming convention common to this series that has caused persistent confusion in auction catalogs.
Bracteates of this weight class were struck on blanks so thin that double-striking is endemic to the type — a known production characteristic, not a sign of post-mint damage.
