Additional information

Erfurt's medieval civic coinage occupied an awkward jurisdictional space — the city sat under the temporal authority of the Archbishop of Mainz yet maintained its own minting rights through repeated negotiation and periodic dispute. These small silver pfennigs represent the city exercising that autonomy during a period when Mainz was actively consolidating control over Thuringian ecclesiastical territories.
