| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of Archbishop Adalbert rendered in a schematic Ottonian style, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The archbishop is depicted with broad shoulders and stylized facial features, holding a long processional cross in the left field. The surrounding legend reads ADALBERTVS in retrograde or partially legible Latin characters along the periphery. The overall style reflects the crude but expressive hand-hammered coinage typical of 11th-century German ecclesiastical mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adalbert of Bremen was one of the most politically ambitious prelates of eleventh-century Germany, briefly serving as regent for the young Henry IV and accumulating ecclesiastical territories on a scale that alarmed even the imperial court. His minting activity at Bremen reflects that ambition — episcopal coinage in this period was as much an instrument of territorial assertion as a medium of exchange. The archbishopric had held minting rights since the Ottonian grants, but Adalbert pushed their exercise aggressively.
Dannenberg 1777 places this issue within a documented series, though die linkage studies suggest production was intermittent rather than continuous across the full reign span.
