Denier Bracteate - Rupert I

正面描述	Central device featuring the Palatinate lion passant on a shielded escutcheon, surmounted by a trefoil arrangement of three pellets in the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or pearled border. The bracteate technique produces a single-sided thin silver fabric with the design in shallow relief. No legend is present.

附加信息	Rupert I held the Palatinate electorate through decades of careful dynastic maneuvering, including his role in the 1356 Golden Bull — the imperial decree that formalized the electoral college and, crucially, confirmed the Count Palatine's right to coin money. These thin, single-sided bracteates were the practical currency of that privilege: struck on foil-thin planchets so fragile that surviving examples without cracks or edge splits are genuinely uncommon.
