Denier Bracteate Ravensburg mint

Ravensburg operated under the authority of the Welfen (Guelph) dynasty during this period, following Henry the Lion's dispossession in 1180 and the subsequent fragmentation of his territories. The town's mint rights changed hands within this turbulent realignment of Swabian power, leaving bracteates from this period difficult to assign with confidence to a specific issuing lord — which is partly why the CC reference rather than a dynastic attribution anchors this piece.

At 0.40g, this falls toward the lighter end of Swabian bracteate production, consistent with the regional trend of progressive weight reduction through the early thirteenth century.
