Denier - Ermesinde

Aversbeschreibung	Full-length effigy of Ermesinde, Countess of Luxembourg (r. 1196–1247), depicted standing in profile facing left, her right hand raised and holding a fleur-de-lis sceptre. The figure is rendered in the flat, linear style characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a circular legend running along the outer rim.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Ermesinde of Luxembourg ruled the county in her own name from 1196 until her death in 1247, one of the few medieval ruling countesses in the Low Countries to exercise genuine sovereign authority rather than acting as regent for a male heir. The deniers struck in her name mark a deliberate assertion of that authority — she issued coinage under her own title across multiple series spanning her long reign. This particular emission, dated to the final decade of her rule, corresponds to a period when she was actively consolidating comital rights and reorganizing the county's administrative structures.
