| Additional information |
Berthold von Leiningen served as Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1257 to 1285, a period when the bishopric maintained substantial territorial and monetary authority in Franconia. These small bracteate-style pfennigs circulated within a tightly regional economy where ecclesiastical mints competed — and occasionally clashed — with neighboring secular powers over striking rights.
Krug Bam#86 is a well-documented type within the Bamberg episcopal series, but surviving specimens at even moderate preservation are scarce given the inherent fragility of thin silver bracteates at this weight class.
