1 Pfennig - Theoderich II Theodoric of Wied

Theodoric II of Wied held the archbishopric of Trier during one of the most turbulent stretches of German imperial politics, spanning the rivalry between Otto IV and Frederick II and the prolonged disorder that followed. Trier, as one of the seven electoral sees, was no passive bystander — its archbishop held a vote in the imperial election, making every coin struck here a product of an institution with real political stakes.

The Dbg. 285–287 grouping reflects minor die variations across a thirty-year run, a span long enough that attributing individual pieces to a specific decade within the archiepiscopate is rarely possible without hoard context.
