| Additional information |
Henry V's deniers from Dortmund were struck during a reign defined by the Investiture Controversy — specifically its resolution. Henry had imprisoned his own father, Henry IV, in 1105 to force his abdication, in part to position himself as the emperor who could finally settle the decades-long conflict with Rome over the appointment of bishops. The Concordat of Worms in 1122 ended that dispute, three years before his death.
Dortmund held imperial mint rights as a royal palace city. Kluge Kar#211 places this among a documented series, though die variation across surviving examples is considerable.
