| Additional information |
The Bishopric of Geneva exercised temporal coinage rights granted under the Burgundian kingdom before its absorption into the Holy Roman Empire in 1032. Conrad II's confirmation of episcopal privileges across the region during this window effectively underwrote the authority behind issues like this one — minted in the final years before Geneva's political alignment shifted permanently northward toward imperial oversight.
