| Additional information |
Bernard III ruled Lippe from 1229 until his death in 1265, a period during which the Blomberg mint operated as one of the few monetarily active sites in the county. The Blomberg facility was notably modest in output compared to the larger episcopal mints of the surrounding Westphalian region, which makes attributable pieces from this reign genuinely scarce.
The Weweler collection reference places this among a tightly catalogued group — Slg. Weweler being one of the few systematic private assemblings of Westphalian bracteate-era coinage that has been published with scholarly apparatus.
