| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bearded bust of Henry IV rendered in a schematic Romanesque style, the hair depicted as curling locks framing the face. A five-petaled flower ornament is prominently placed on the forehead. The circumferential Latin legend reads *HENRICVS REX, separated from the central effigy by an inner beaded circle. The die-work is characteristic of mid-thirteenth-century German hammered sterlings. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry IV ruled a minor Westphalian lordship caught between the competing ambitions of the Archbishop of Cologne and the Bishop of Minden throughout the mid-thirteenth century. That his court produced sterlings at all reflects the coin's remarkable penetration into North German commercial networks during this period — a type originating in England that had, by the 1240s, become the preferred trade denomination across much of the Low Countries and adjacent German territories.
Stange 15 and Kalvelagen/Schrock 12 represent a genuinely scarce attribution within an already thinly documented lordship.
