| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of Emperor Henry II in high relief, rendered in the schematic Ottonian style characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage. The ruler is depicted wearing a crown or diadem adorned with pellets and stylized ornamental elements, with coarsely engraved facial features including almond-shaped eyes and a broad nose. The bust is surrounded by a beaded or dotted inner border. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend +HEINRICVS, identifying the emperor. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-struck silver pfennigs of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry II was the last ruler of the Ottonian dynasty, and his reign saw the imperial mints operating under a decentralized system that granted ecclesiastical and secular lords broad coining rights. Esslingen, situated on the Neckar, functioned as an active royal mint under Henry — one of several Swabian sites producing deniers during this period. The KR#4 attribution and the Kluge Kar#84 reference place this firmly within the documented royal issues rather than the lookalike episcopal imitations that plague attribution of Ottonian deniers from this region.
