| Additional information |
Brandenburg's deniers of this period were struck during a fractious co-rulership among Ascanian margraves whose internal disputes repeatedly spilled into open conflict with neighboring powers, including the Archbishop of Magdeburg. The joint attribution to Otto IV, Otto V, and others reflects genuine uncertainty — shared governance among Ascanian brothers and cousins made clean attributions nearly impossible, and the minting rights themselves were contested territory.
Bahrf#564 is among the thinner, lighter issues of the Brandenburg bracteate-adjacent tradition, produced as silver supplies tightened across the Mark in the early 1280s.
