| Obverse description | Bracteate struck on a thin, broad silver flan with the design appearing in relief on the obverse and as a corresponding incuse impression on the reverse. At center, a crowned equestrian figure facing right, depicting Philip von Schwaben in regal attire, seated on a caparisoned horse in full stride. The rider holds a scepter or lance upright in his right hand, with a shield or orb visible at the left; to the right of the horse, a large cross pattée or cross-crosslet within a circular motif occupies the field. The composition is contained within a beaded inner circle and an outer dotted border, consistent with the bracteate coinage tradition of the Swabian region in the late 12th to early 13th century. |
