A coin in the name of Conrad II (1027–1039) from the Zurich mint (Dbg. 1263) depicts the Salian crown on the obverse and an unusual building on the reverse. The building is interpreted as a depiction of the archaeologically attested younger palatine castle on Lindenhof hill. As this coin type can be dated quite precisely to the time in between 1030 (death of Ernest II, duke of Swabia) and 1033/1034 (burial date of the Corcelles hoard), this would date the building of the younger palatine castle of Zurich as well.
