| Additional information |
Issued under Bishop Osdag (consecrated 989, died 996), this anonymous denier falls within the brief window of his episcopate — a period when Hildesheim's minting rights were still being consolidated under Ottonian imperial patronage. The lack of a named authority on the coin is characteristic of early German ecclesiastical issues, where episcopal identity was often subordinated to the prestige of the issuing see itself rather than its current occupant.
