| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the Bamberg arms, surmounted by a pointed decorative finial and enclosed within a trilobe frame with pointed cusps. The shield displays a quartered or divided coat of arms in relief, typical of episcopal Bamberg heraldic conventions. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the surrounding circular legend. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
George III Schenk of Limburg held the Bishopric of Bamberg from 1505 until his death in 1522, a tenure marked by his attempts to consolidate ecclesiastical finances amid the fractious politics of the early Reformation period. Small silver fractions like this half-Schilling were the backbone of local market exchange in Franconia, where episcopal mints competed directly with secular neighbors for seigniorage revenue. Bamberg's mint rights, confirmed repeatedly by imperial privilege, were jealously defended.
The Krug reference places this among a tightly documented sub-series of Bamberg halves from this episcopate, with Heller#60 noting minor die variations across the striking window.
