| Additional information |
Wigileus Fröschl of Marzoll served as Bishop of Passau from 1500 to 1517, a tenure defined largely by jurisdictional disputes with the Habsburg archdukes over territorial authority along the Inn and Danube corridors. The half Batzen denomination was then newly standardized under the Bavarian monetary reforms of the late 15th century, and episcopal mints like Passau were under increasing pressure to conform to regional coinage conventions rather than issue on purely ecclesiastical authority.
Kellner's Passau reference 59 places this among the scarcer documented types from Fröschl's episcopate.
