| Additional information |
Corvey, founded in 822 on the Weser, held imperial abbey status and exercised its minting rights intermittently throughout the medieval period. Hermann I of Holte served as abbot from 1223 to 1253, a tenure that coincided with the broader fragmentation of ecclesiastical coinage authority in Westphalia as secular lords increasingly contested church prerogatives over local mints.
The "var." designation against Weing Corvey#23 suggests a die or typological deviation from the primary catalogued specimen — not unusual for bracteate-adjacent pfennig production of this region, where individual die-cutters worked with considerable latitude.
