| Additional information |
Reiner of Buchholz served as Abbot of Corvey during a period when the abbey's temporal authority was under sustained pressure from the surrounding County of Höxter and encroaching Protestant reformers. Small billon issues like this Körtling were a deliberate assertion of minting rights — rights the abbey had held since Carolingian grants but which were increasingly contested by secular neighbors throughout the sixteenth century.
The Ilisch/Schwede reference places this among the D/e die combination, a pairing documented across a narrow window of the abbacy.
