Numismatic Insight: Imperial Mainz Denar of Henry II (cf. Dannenberg 785 / 786a)

Overview: A silver denar of the imperial mint at Mainz in the name of Henry II, King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor (crowned emperor 1014; died 1024). Weight 1.07 g; grade XF/XF. A few peck-marks. Compared with Dannenberg 785 and the related obol 786a.

Design: Obverse — cross pattée with pellets in the quarters; legend (+HEINRIC)VS REX. Reverse — church façade with wedge-shaped cross in centre and three dots in the pediment; blundered legend +ITFC...OM.

Historical context: Henry II (the last Ottonian emperor) strengthened imperial authority and church reform; Mainz was a leading ecclesiastical and minting centre on the Middle Rhine. Imperial denars from Mainz circulated widely in the German kingdom and beyond. Peck-marks again point to northern testing practices familiar from Baltic–Scandinavian silver circuits.
