| Additional information |
Henry I of Bilversheim's episcopate at Bamberg lasted barely three years, cut short by his death in 1245. The bishopric's coinage authority during this period operated under the broader tensions of the Interregnum preceding the collapse of Hohenstaufen imperial power in Germany — Conrad IV's grip on the kingdom was already loosening, and regional ecclesiastical mints were asserting independent striking activity with increasing frequency.
Krug Bam#70 is among the more narrowly attributed bracteate-era pfennigs from the diocese, its short dating window making episcopal assignment unusually precise for the type.
