Sterling - Henry of Leuven

正面描述	Central device consisting of a heraldic shield bearing a crowned rampant lion passant to the left, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of mid-13th-century Low Countries hammered coinage. The shield occupies the majority of the field. A circular legend in Latin uncial lettering surrounds the central device, reading the lord's name and title. The overall striking is irregular, as typical of hand-struck medieval issues from the Lordship of Herstal.

附加信息	Henri de Dinant, lord of Herstal, issued these sterlings during a period when the lower Meuse valley was saturated with imitative penny coinage, each minor lord essentially piggybacking on the commercial credibility of English and continental prototypes. Herstal's output was modest, and the lordship itself was a small jurisdiction wedged between the ecclesiastical power of Liège and the territorial ambitions of the Duchy of Brabant. The Dengis reference remains the most precise die study for this type.
