| Additional information |
Eberhard II governed the Bishopric of Constance during one of the most turbulent stretches of the Interregnum — the Great Interregnum of 1254–1273, during which the Holy Roman Empire operated without a recognized king for nearly two decades. Regional ecclesiastical lords like Eberhard filled the resulting power vacuum by issuing their own coinage, and bracteate production in the Swabian region accelerated sharply as a result. These thin single-sided pieces were technically fragile in circulation and are frequently found with stress cracks or edge losses, making intact examples genuinely scarce.
