Obole - Adalgodus II

Adalgodus II held the bishopric of Geneva from roughly 1025 until his death around 1044, during a period when the bishop functioned as the effective secular authority over the city following the dissolution of Burgundian royal power after Rudolph III died without heirs in 1032. The Kingdom of Burgundy passed to Conrad II of the Holy Roman Empire that year, but coinage rights in Geneva remained with the bishop — a jurisdictional arrangement that would persist, with interruptions, for centuries.

The HMZ 1#1-288a attribution places this among the earliest documented episcopal issues from Geneva.
