| Aanvullende informatie |
Conrad III von Dhaun served as Archbishop of Mainz during one of the most administratively turbulent periods in the archbishopric's history, his tenure overlapping with the Council of Basel and persistent conflicts over electoral authority within the Holy Roman Empire. Mainz retained formidable minting rights throughout, and the Weißpfennig — "white penny," so called for its relatively high silver content giving freshly struck pieces a bright appearance — was the workhorse denomination of Rhenish small commerce in this period.
Pr.Alex#155 distinguishes Conrad III's issue from the several near-contemporary Mainz Weißpfennige by die characteristics documented in Prüfer's Alexander corpus.
