| Additional information |
Ravensburg's mint rights were held by the Counts of Montfort through much of the thirteenth century before passing under the influence of the newly formed Ravensburg merchant community — one of the earliest trading consortia in the German southwest. The extreme thinness of bracteate production at this weight made dies wear rapidly, and Ravensburg issues from this decade show considerable variation in strike depth as a result.
