Denier - Adalbero III

Adalbero III governed the see of Verdun during a period when the bishopric operated with considerable minting autonomy, issuing deniers that circulated regionally alongside competing ecclesiastical and secular coinages from Lorraine. Episcopal minting rights at Verdun traced back to imperial grants from the Ottonian period, and by the twelfth century the dies reflect a localized workshop tradition increasingly divergent from imperial models.
