| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two facing busts shown side by side in Romanesque style, separated by a central fleur-de-lis or stylized plant motif rising between them; the left figure wears a pointed animal-head headdress or hood, while the right figure bears a plain rounded head, both draped in simple robes. The pair is seated above a decorative hatched or crenellated base element suggestive of a crown or architectural feature. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border, with the whole composition rendered in the characteristic high-relief convex technique of a thin silver bracteate. The imagery likely represents Count Kuno I of Münzenberg and a companion or heraldic emblem of the county. No legible inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kuno I von Münzenberg built his family's minting authority during the Staufen ascendancy, operating under imperial privilege as a ministerial family that had parlayed administrative service into genuine territorial power. The bracteate format — struck on foil-thin planchets so that the single die image shows in reverse on the back — was the dominant coinage technology across central Germany during this period, favored precisely because it required less silver per coin without reducing face value.
Hävernick 50 is among the rarer attributions in the Münzenberg series, with the county's output generally underrepresented in major collections relative to its documented minting activity.
