ND (1181-1202). AR Hebrew Bracteate (0.12 gm) (17mm). Gnesen Mint. Facing busts of Duke wearing a pointed helmet and holding a sword and flag, surrounded by rays which have interspersed 3 or 4 Hebrew characters. Gum. 117; as Gum. (Hebrew) 171; Kop. 108 (R5); HCz. 6907 (R2); Stron. 116c. Choice VF-EF, slight flan fold 11:00-1:30.
Gumowski states that over 100 examples of this general type were found at Glebokie. The Hebrew characters are more difficult to read on these than on any other type. Experts suggest several possible words, including "dukus" = duke, "Gnaz" = Gnesen, or even Jehovah.
