Hartwig I ruled the Augsburg see during a period of intense friction between the German episcopate and the Hohenstaufen imperial court. His issues are poorly documented in contemporary sources, and the tight date range of 1167–1184 reflects the full span of his episcopate rather than a narrower production window — the actual striking period for this type is unresolved. Steinh#43 is among the thinner-documented entries in Steinhilber's corpus of Swabian episcopal coinages.
