Denier anonyme au nom de Henri III

The Abbey of Selz, founded by Empress Adelaide in 991 on the right bank of the Rhine in Alsace, held imperial minting privileges granted and periodically reaffirmed through the eleventh century. This anonymous denier falls within the abbacy years bracketed by Kluge's attribution, issued under the nominal authority of Henry III — a common feudal convention where ecclesiastical mints struck in the emperor's name without his direct administration. Selz never became a major minting center; surviving examples from this house are genuinely scarce in any condition.
