| Additional information |
The Abbey of Saint Blaise in the Black Forest held the right to strike small copper coinage by imperial grant, and this kreuzer was among its earliest documented issues under Abbot Romanus Vogler. Ecclesiastical minting rights in the Holy Roman Empire were jealously guarded and frequently contested — a small Benedictine house producing copper for local circulation occupied a legally precarious position among the larger secular and episcopal mints of the region.
KM#1 status for this type reflects how little the abbey struck. The sequence ends almost where it begins.
