Abstract
The name and the concept come from Hans Gebhart's papers on the finds of Watzendorf and Hersbruck. A literature of its own already exists on this coin, above all studies by Buchenau, Habich and Gebhart in the Blätter für Münzfreunde and in the society's Mitteilungen; the most recent account, by Michael Metcalf in 1961, follows Gebhart and adds nothing new. The outcome of the discussion can be stated thus: the lion changed from a Welf lion into a Bohemian or Bavarian one, the figure with crown and two lily sceptres is accepted by all as a king of the thirteenth century, the mint remained Nuremberg, and the issues are held to be the work of the last Hohenstaufen. Gebhart closed in 1936 with the warning that hardly any field appears as confused as Franconian numismatics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
