| Additional information |
The Bishopric of Worms occupied an awkward political position throughout the first half of the twelfth century, caught between imperial ambitions and the aftermath of the Investiture Controversy, which had only formally concluded with the Concordat of Worms in 1122. The joint attribution to Henry V and Burkhard II on this denier is chronologically problematic — Henry V died in 1125, making any overlap with Burkhard II's tenure extremely brief if it existed at all, and scholars have debated whether the Henry named is instead a local administrative figure.
Worms episcopal coinage of this period is thinly documented in surviving mint records.
