| Additional information |
Wolfgang I and Joachim were co-rulers of the County of Öttingen during a period when the county itself was already fragmenting through inheritance divisions that would eventually split it into separate lines by mid-century. Joint-issue coinage of this type reflects the formal co-lordship arrangement rather than any political unity — the two counts governed distinct portions of the territory simultaneously under the same dynastic banner.
The Schilling denomination in Swabian coinage of this period operated within the regional currency conventions of the Swabian Circle, where fractional silver issues served local market exchange. Öttingen's mint output from this decade is sparsely documented, which accounts for the relatively narrow specialist references this type appears in.
