| Additional information |
Berthold von Leiningen served as Bishop of Bamberg from 1257 to 1285, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Hohenzollern burgraves of Nuremberg over territorial jurisdiction in Franconia. Bamberg's bracteate issues of this period were minted under that pressure — thin-flan coinage that was as much a declaration of episcopal mint rights as anything else.
CNA Ce8 is among the more precisely attributed bracteates in the Bamberg sequence, placed within the Griffen workshop tradition by die-link analysis.
