Hello,

I think we should add the HRE Emperor Frederick II. (1220 - 1250) as a ruling authority for Abbey Lindau. There are several coins were minted there in the time of King's participation on minting rights of the Abbey. Example: 

N#465453

N#366139

Are we sure this is not just coins from the Royal mint of Lindau?

A legitimate question. Julius Cahn stated in his 1911 book that at the time of this bracteate, the right to mint coins in Lindau belonged solely to the king. It only passed to the (Women's) Abbey in 1272.
Ulrich Klein has demonstrated in his more recent work that earlier Lindau pennies were minted by the abbey. From 1215 (until 1272) the king only  participated on it. Ruitishauser also endorses this opinion in his standard work.
It also seems plausible to me.

@Compendium : why do you think, the coin belongs to HRE? It is clearly a product of join minting of the abby (Linden branches) with support of the king (crowned head). This is not just my opinion but the result of modern research in this field.

Ok then please move the other ones but it's not suitable to have them in both issuers

Sure, will do so
