Denier - Erlolf de Bergholz

Erlolf served as Abbot of Fulda from 1114 to 1122, presiding over a house with centuries of minting rights but persistent tension with the local nobility over temporal authority. Fulda's coinage during this period reflects a broader fragmentation of monetary production across the German ecclesiastical lordships following the Investiture Controversy, which had spent decades destabilizing the relationship between abbeys and imperial oversight.

Kluge Kar#474 is not a common attribution — Fulda abbatial deniers from individual reigns in this narrow window survive in very limited numbers across public collections.
