| Additional information |
Dietrich II of Formbach held the county during a period of acute dynastic instability in the southeastern march — the Formbach line was already approaching extinction, and the county would pass out of the family entirely by the mid-twelfth century. Coins attributable to this brief window are sparse, and the CNA attribution rests on typological and stratigraphic evidence rather than documentary corroboration.
The broad flan relative to the weight reflects the bracteate-adjacent minting conventions spreading through the region at this time, though this piece retains full two-sided striking.
