| Additional information |
Gonthier (Gunther) held the see of Salzburg for barely two years before his death in 1025, making his coinage among the most chronologically compressed of any medieval German ecclesiastical issue. The Bishopric's minting authority at this period derived directly from royal grant — Otto I had confirmed Salzburg's coinage rights in the tenth century — but Gonthier's tenure was too brief to produce issues in any volume, which explains why Hahn and Kluge catalogue references for this type remain sparsely represented in major collections.
