| Additional information |
Walter II ruled Arnstein during a period when the bracteate format was spreading rapidly through central German minting, replacing the bilateral penny as regional lords asserted independent coinage rights. Arnstein's output was modest by any measure — the county was small, its mint intermittent, and survival rates for these thin, single-sided pieces are poor even by bracteate standards. The Löbbecke and Förschner references place this type within a well-documented but numerically thin series, with attributed examples spread across a handful of major collections.
