| Additional information |
Hersfeld Abbey, a Benedictine foundation in Hesse, held imperial minting privileges from the early medieval period and exercised them aggressively during the abbacy of the early thirteenth century. Bracteate production at Hersfeld falls within a broader Thuringian-Saxon tradition where single-sided thin-flan coinage dominated regional exchange for over a century. The Berger and Löbbecke references place this piece firmly within a documented typological sequence, though surviving examples attributable to this precise issue remain scarce in the trade.
