| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, the reverse presents an incuse, mirror-image impression of the obverse design, being the natural consequence of the single-die hammered technique used to produce this thin silver flan. The incuse enthroned figure of the ruler is visible in negative relief, with the pellet border likewise appearing in reverse. The surface displays the characteristic concavity of bracteate coinage, with natural flow lines and minor irregularities consistent with hand-struck medieval production. No additional design elements or legends appear on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry V of Brunswick ruled the Palatinate of the Rhine as Count Palatine from 1195 until his death in 1227, holding the title through his marriage to Agnes of the Hohenstaufen line — a dynastic connection that placed him squarely within the turbulent imperial politics surrounding the Hohenstaufen-Welf succession conflict. Bracteates of this type were struck at a moment when the Rhine Palatinate sat between competing claimants to the German throne, Otto IV and Philip of Swabia, and regional lords were minting aggressively to assert local authority.
The obol denomination — half a pfennig — reflects the practical small-change economy of the medieval Rhineland rather than any ceremonial function.
