Additional information

Rottenburg am Neckar operated as a mintingauthority under the broader framework of Swabian coinage agreements, and the Hand Heller designation itself derives from the open hand device used by the city — a mark of civic identity that distinguished local issues from the flood of Heller types circulating across the southwest German territories in the late medieval period. These fractional silver pieces were struck in such quantities and by so many competing authorities that modern attribution often depends entirely on the hand symbol variant and die linkages catalogued by the CNA.
