| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bishop Conrad II of Sternberg depicted facing, enthroned in frontal view, robed in episcopal vestments, holding a crozier in his right hand and a book (Bible) in his left. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized Romanesque tradition typical of 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The design is contained within a beaded border circle, with the thin flan characteristic of the Dünnpfennig (bracteate-style) technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Conrad II of Sternberg held the see of Worms during a period of acute tension between episcopal authority and the Hohenstaufen imperial court — Frederick Barbarossa's campaigns in Italy repeatedly destabilized German ecclesiastical finances and disrupted the minting arrangements of suffragan bishoprics throughout the Rhine corridor. The extreme thinness of this bracteate-adjacent issue reflects not debasement but a deliberate regional trend toward broad, lightweight deniers that maximized surface area for die detail while reducing silver content per coin.
The Joseph reference catalogue remains the primary authority for Worms episcopal coinage of this period, with specimen numbers in this range notoriously difficult to attribute without it.
