Another great contribution @ed! Here is a Dünnpfennig from the German Bishopric of Naumburg that was issued under the authority of Bishop Dietrich I. It was minted between 1111 and 1123 AD and I have attributed it as Bonhoff 1846 and Dannenberg 601. As you can see, there are multiple areas where it was weakly stuck plus someone jabbed it a couple times.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

We are getting back to times in northern Europe when church institutions (Bishoprics) were often better organized than the secular ones.
I've been working on pushing my knowledge of "modern" Low Countries coinage back to its beginnings, and at this time (early 1100s), the Duchy of Brabant, did not yet exist, but the Bishopric of Liege just to the east had already been striking coins for 150 years.
If I recall correctly, some of the German kings of this era even preferred this situation, and acted to create new bishoprics, to try and prevent the rise of powerful princes who might challenge their authority.

An interesting dynamic that you describe @tdz. Sounds a bit like checks and balances among the first and second estates. Here is my final coin for this decade, a Denar from the Austrian/Bohemian City of Olmütz. It dates to the range of 1110 to 1113 AD. I have attributed it as Cach 532 and Smerda 480b. The legends aren't super clear, but look to me like SCS W...AVS on the obv and +SCS VVE... on the rev. Sorry for the low quality pics--not sure why I took them with the coin in the 2x2 already.

Great contributions! I hope to see some more, but in the meanwhile, here is my last coin to post for this decade. This is a Dinero from the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon that is datable to the time period 1109 to 1126 AD. It was minted at Toledo. The inscriptions are ANFVS REX and TOLETA. I have attributed it as C&C 919.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Seems like we have hit a dry spot so let's drop back to the decade of the 1090s starting tomorrow am. I suspect we will see more contributions from the Northern Song Dynasty.

A rare appearance from me. There are still English coins from the 900s and 1000s attributable to decades, but they're generally very expensive. Like this one. William II Rufus Voided Cross Penny, 1092-1095 London. Silver, 1.38g. Crowned bust facing, star either side; + þillelm rei. Voided short cross potent over cross pommee; + þvlfþord on lv (moneyer Wulfword (Wulfweard) on London) (S 1260).The stars may have been added in 1093 after the annular solar eclipse. But William I also featured stars on his coins, struck soon after the appearance of a bright comet in 1075, added to Halley's comet that accompanied his successful invasion of England in 1066. |
