Denier - Eberhard II of Regensburg

Eberhard II held the archbishopric of Salzburg through one of the most turbulent stretches of medieval German politics, navigating repeated conflicts with the Hohenstaufen emperors — he was excommunicated, exiled, and reinstated more than once during his tenure. His coinage reflects the fractured political reality of the period, with episcopal mints asserting independent monetary authority precisely because central imperial control was so contested. The CNA A37 type is struck on a broad, thin flan characteristic of the south German denier tradition of the early thirteenth century, and specimens frequently show edge splits as a direct consequence of that fabric.
