| Additional information |
Conrad I of Wettin consolidated Meissen after inheriting the margravate in 1123 following years of contested succession between the Wettin and Groitzsch lines. Bracteate production in Saxony expanded significantly under his rule, displacing the older double-sided denier types as regional minting practice shifted toward the thin single-sided fabric dominant in eastern German territories through the twelfth century.
Berger 1881 is among the more elusive attributions in this sequence — surviving examples are rarely found outside central German collection dispersals.
