| Additional information |
Hagenau's deniers of this period derive their authority from the city's status as a favored Hohenstaufen residence — Frederick Barbarossa had rebuilt the palace there, and his successors treated it as a genuine imperial seat rather than a administrative way-station. The right to strike coinage was inseparable from that political elevation. These small bracteate-style issues circulated primarily within the Rhine-Alsace corridor, where Hohenstaufen imperial currency competed directly with episcopal issues from Strasbourg.
The Nessel sequence for this type spans three die variants with measurable differences in flan preparation.
