1 Pfennig - Albrecht III

Albrecht III ruled the Duchy of Austria from 1365 until his death in 1395, a period marked by ongoing friction with his brother Leopold III over the division of Habsburg lands — a dispute resolved only by the Treaty of Neuberg in 1379, which partitioned the territories between the two lines. These small silver pfennigs were the workhorse denomination of that fragmented political moment, circulating across a duchy whose borders and administration were actively being negotiated.

At under half a gram, dies for coins of this weight were prone to misalignment and off-center placement, a known characteristic of the type rather than a fault of any individual example.
