| Additional information |
Öttingen's joint coinage under Wolfgang I and Joachim reflects the county's practice of collective rule between brothers, a governance arrangement that produced a narrow and now scarce series of issues during the early sixteenth century. The Batzen denomination itself was a product of Swiss monetary innovation from the 1490s, spreading rapidly through southern German territories as a practical four-Kreuzer piece filling a genuine gap between the Pfennig and the larger Groschen-weight coins.
Schult 2587 is among the rarer attributions in the Öttingen sequence — the county never operated a major mint, and output across this entire five-year window was limited.
