Denier - Eberhard II of Regensburg

Eberhard II served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1200 to 1246 — one of the longest episcopal tenures of the medieval German church — and spent much of it in bitter conflict with the Hohenstaufen emperors Frederick II and his predecessors. Excommunicated and exiled twice, he nonetheless maintained the mint authority of Salzburg through political maneuvering that kept the archbishopric financially functional even during periods of open hostility with imperial forces.

The CNA A39 classification places this denier within the broader Regensburg-influenced bracteate and thin-flan coinage tradition circulating through the Bavarian and Alpine regions in the first half of the thirteenth century.
