Denier - Egilbert of Ortenburg

Egilbert served as Archbishop of Trier during one of the most fractious periods of medieval German politics — the Investiture Controversy, in which Pope Gregory VII and Henry IV fought bitterly over the right to appoint church officials. Trier's mint rights, confirmed and exercised through this period, placed the archbishops squarely within the imperial monetary system even as their ecclesiastical loyalties were under pressure from both sides.

Weiller 81 is among the scarcer documented issues of the Trier episcopal series from this reign.
