| Additional information |
Conrad III never received an imperial coronation — he died in 1152 before making the journey to Rome, making him the only Hohenstaufen ruler to hold the title of King of the Romans without ever becoming emperor. His reign opened with a disputed succession against the Welf claimant Duke Henry the Black, and the Nuremberg mint operated squarely within this fractious political climate, its output reflecting the administrative consolidation of Franconian imperial holdings.
