The surrounding legend, rendered in crude Romanesque lettering, reads OSNINHVGGE, enclosed between an inner beaded border and the coin's irregular rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The anonymous deniers of Osnabrück belong to a period when the bishop held coinage rights granted by the Salian emperors, rights that became deeply contested during the Investiture Controversy. The diocese was caught directly in that conflict — Bishop Benno II of Osnabrück, who died in 1088, was one of the few German prelates who managed to navigate loyalty to Henry IV without permanently alienating the papal party, a political tightrope that kept the see functional while neighboring ecclesiastical mints collapsed into factional paralysis.
The anonymous attribution reflects a broader minting practice in the lower Saxon region where episcopal identity was subordinated to institutional authority of the see itself rather than the sitting bishop.
