| Additional information |
The Abbey of Corvey, a Benedictine foundation on the Weser dating to 822, had its temporal authority repeatedly contested throughout the Thirty Years' War. This pfennig falls in the year the Peace of Westphalia was signed — the same treaties that formally confirmed the abbey's status as an Imperial Abbey, a designation worth defending through coinage as much as diplomacy. Arnold of Waldois served as prince-abbot during a period when small copper issues like this one functioned as much as sovereignty statements as they did change.
