| Additional information |
Konrad I von Abensberg served as Archbishop of Salzburg during one of the most destabilizing conflicts in medieval German ecclesiastical politics — the Investiture Controversy's long aftermath, including the renewed tensions between imperial and papal authority under Henry V and Lothair III. Salzburg's archbishops held temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction over substantial Alpine territories, and coinage was an explicit exercise of that comital right.
The CNA type A 29 is among the thinner, more lightly struck issues associated with the Salzburg mint in this period, a characteristic of Alpine deniers generally rather than a production fault specific to this emission.
