| Additional information |
Corvey's copper pfennig issues of the early eighteenth century were struck under the authority of the abbey's secular lordship over surrounding territories — a jurisdictional relic that was already anachronistic by 1715 and would survive only a few more decades before Prussian administrative pressure eroded what remained of ecclesiastical minting rights in Westphalia. Maximilian of Horrich served as prince-abbot during a period when Corvey's temporal authority was more asserted on coin than enforced on the ground.
