| Additional information |
Frisia in the late tenth century was not a unified political entity but a loose collection of coastal territories where comital and episcopal authority overlapped messily. This denier is associated with Wickman III, a figure whose precise role in Frisian monetary administration remains debated — the attribution rests primarily on die analysis and hoard distribution rather than documentary record.
The Ilisch NL1#20.2 reference places this type within the North Sea trading network, where Frisian deniers circulated alongside Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon issues in the Baltic commerce of the period.
