1 Pfennig - Albert Achilles

Albert Achilles, Elector of Brandenburg from 1470, spent much of his reign managing the fractured Hohenzollern inheritance. His 1473 Dispositio Achillea — a binding hereditary law he imposed unilaterally — was specifically designed to prevent the kind of territorial fragmentation that had plagued the family for generations, separating the Electorate of Brandenburg from the Franconian holdings as distinct, non-divisible lines. These small silver pfennigs were struck across both territories during precisely the years he was legislating that separation.

Schr#321 places this type firmly within the Franconian branch issues, distinct from contemporary Brandenburg mint production.
