Netherlands / Friesland, Bolsward Count Bruno III of Brunswick (1038–1057) Denar – A Well-Preserved Numismatic Piece
Introduction
Offered here is a silver denar struck at Bolsward in Friesland for Count Bruno III of Brunswick (1038–1057) in the name of the Salian king and emperor Henry III. It is catalogued as Ilisch 21.25 var., Dannenberg 498 var., and weighs 0.70 g. The coin is offered in about uncirculated / uncirculated condition, with a well-defined royal portrait and a boldly struck count's name.
Description
The obverse shows the head of the king in profile within an inner circle, surrounded by the legend HENR…CVSIR, naming King and later Emperor Henry III. The reverse carries the count's name •BRVN• in a central rectangular band between two serrated bars, with an arc above and below, and around it the mint legend ROIA-BN…, of which only part is legible. Struck by hand on a thin, broad flan, the coin shows very little wear; parts of the legends are weakly struck or off the flan, and there are a few light marks in the fields and small spots of toning near the edge, while the portrait and the name BRVN stand out sharply.
Historical Context
The Brunonen, a Saxon comital family based around Brunswick, held extensive counties in Friesland in the eleventh century. Bruno III, a relative of the Salian royal house, struck coins at several Frisian mints, including Bolsward, Dokkum and Leeuwarden. Bolsward, in the region of Westergo, grew from a settlement mound into a trading place and became one of the mints of the Frisian counts.
Numismatic Details
Denomination: denar (penny). Mint: Bolsward, Friesland. Authority: Count Bruno III of Brunswick (1038–1057), in the name of King Henry III. Reference: Ilisch 21.25 var.; Dannenberg 498 var. Weight: 0.70 g. The broad, thin flan is typical of the Frisian denars of this period, which circulated widely in the North Sea and Baltic trade.
Cultural and Political Symbolism
The coin joins two powers on one small piece of silver: the king's portrait and name on the obverse, the count's own name and his mint on the reverse. It shows how regional lords in the Empire exercised minting rights while still acknowledging royal authority, and how Frisian silver connected the Low Countries with the wider world of northern trade.
Conclusion
This Bolsward denar of Bruno III is a well-preserved example of Frisian coinage from the Salian era in about uncirculated / uncirculated condition, with a crisp portrait and a boldly struck count's name. It will make a fine addition to any collection of medieval coins of the Netherlands and Germany.
