| Aanvullende informatie |
Quedlinburg Abbey held the right to mint coinage by imperial grant, a privilege rooted in the abbey's extraordinary status as a foundation of the Ottonian dynasty — Henry I was buried there, and his widow Mathilde established it as one of the most politically connected religious houses in the German lands. Abbess Eilica, who held the position from roughly 1095 to 1110, issued this denier under that inherited authority during a period when the Investiture Controversy was fracturing relationships between ecclesiastical institutions and the German crown.
Kluge's corpus remains the primary reference for Quedlinburg abbatial coinage, and Kar#441 is among the documented types attributable specifically to Eilica's tenure.
