| Aversbeschreibung | Central field depicts a frontal architectural motif resembling a stylized church facade or gateway, flanked by two tall towers or columns, rendered in the crude but vigorous Romanesque hammered style characteristic of early 12th-century Bavarian bracteate-related coinage. A seated or enthroned figure, likely representing the duke or a bishop, appears within the arcade, holding what may be a sceptre or staff. The surrounding field bears a partial circular border, with fragmentary and largely illegible Latin legend disposed around the periphery. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammered stress cracks and surface oxidation consistent with medieval Regensburg mint production. Star or pellet ornaments are visible in the upper field adjacent to the architectural device. |

Henry X — "the Black," duke from 1126 — was among the most powerful of the Welf dukes, whose rivalry with the Hohenstaufen shaped German politics for generations. This issue falls squarely within the period of his consolidation of both Bavaria and Saxony, a dual ducal holding that made him the dominant secular prince in the empire until Frederick Barbarossa's grandfather, Conrad III, moved against him in 1138. Henry was stripped of his duchies that year, dying shortly after in 1139.
The light denier weight standard reflects a broader thinning of Bavarian silver coinage through the first half of the twelfth century, driven by declining silver supply from regional mines rather than deliberate debasement.
