| Additional information |
Überlingen, a free imperial city on Lake Constance, held minting rights that were perpetually contested — the city's small silver pfennigs of this period circulated alongside the competing issues of the Bishop of Constance and the Habsburgs, all vying for monetary footing in the same regional economy. The decade-long span of this type reflects continued striking rather than a single authorization.
At 0.27g, these are among the lightest silver issues of the Bodensee region, and surviving examples are rarely found outside specialized South German collections. Nau's attribution remains the standard reference for Überlingen civic coinage.
