Henry the Lion (10 Mark,1995)

trumpman in #hive-167922 • last year

Back with another silver coin from Germany, this one featuring a lion short of thing

So, this is a 10 mark piece minted in 1995 commemorating the 800th Anniversary since the Death of Henry the Lion.

Apparently he was one of the most powerful German princes of his time. Also known as Henry III of the House of Welf, he was a prominent figure in medieval European history and a key player in the Holy Roman Empire during the 12th century.

I asked chatgpt to gimme a quick breakdown about him, here's what it came up with:

Henry was a powerful and ambitious ruler, known for his support of arts and culture, particularly in the city of Braunschweig. He founded the city of Munich and played a significant role in its development. His patronage of art and architecture contributed to the growth of Gothic and Romanesque styles in northern Germany.

He founded the city of Munich and played a significant role in its development. His patronage of art and architecture contributed to the growth of Gothic and Romanesque styles in northern Germany.

Henry's most famous moment came in the context of the Investiture Controversy, a struggle between the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops. He initially supported Emperor Frederick Barbarossa but later switched allegiance to the Pope, leading to his excommunication in 1180 and the confiscation of his lands. He was only able to regain some of his territories later.

Henry the Lion's complex political maneuvers and his contributions to art and architecture left a lasting impact on the development of northern Germany and the Holy Roman Empire.

I don't have much interest about that historical era so good to know I guess. Meh. 😂 Here's a link to Wikipedia if you want to learn more about the guy

The coin comes with an engraved edge that reads

HEINRICH DER LOEWE AUS KAISERLICHEM STAMM

This translates to

Henry the Lion from an imperial lineage

A clear reference to Henry, emphasizing his noble heritage that played a significant role in his political power and influence.

Finally, moving on the other side we have..

Yep, you guessed it right! Yet another unique design of the imperial eagle.

This one looks a bit scrawny, probably haven't eaten for a while 🙃

When it comes to silver, this piece weights 15.5 g of 0.625 purity.

All in all, a meh piece if you ask me. The lion looks weird and the eagle looks shit. 😂

I guess fans of the Roman empire would show more appreciation about it ^_^

If instead of an eagle there had been a robot-chicken it would have been a wonderful coin :)

This is a fascinating coin with a rich history. The design is both intricate and symbolic, and the inscription on the edge is a reminder of Henry the Lion's powerful lineage. I agree that the lion on the coin does look a bit strange. It is possible that this was due to the limitations of minting technology at the time. However, the eagle on the reverse is a beautiful example of German craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Such an amazing amount of history in old gold and silver coins. I'm blown away by how much human history is recorded in precious metals.

trumpman last year

Yeah, the historic part is half of the fun when collecting shiny. I just wish I wasn't a pleb and good afford more gold. Oh well, maybe if hive hits 10$ I will lmao
