Additional information

The Bishopric of Regensburg operated its mint under a complex tangle of competing authorities throughout the fourteenth century — the bishop, the cathedral chapter, and the city itself all pressed claims over minting rights at various points. This piece falls within the long episcopate of several successive bishops during whom Regensburg remained one of the more active ecclesiastical mints in Bavaria, issuing small silver bracteate-style pfennigs that circulated locally alongside imperial and ducal coinage. The sixty-year attribution window reflects genuine uncertainty in the die sequence rather than curatorial laziness.
