1 Pfennig - Anthony of Rotenhan

Anthony of Rotenhan held the see of Bamberg for just six years before his death in 1459, a short episcopate that left limited opportunity for extensive coinage. The Bishopric operated its own mint rights under the privileges of the Holy Roman Empire, and small billon issues like this pfennig served purely local exchange — the Bamberg region's commercial ties to Nuremberg and Frankfurt meant higher-denomination coinage from those cities dominated longer-distance trade, pushing episcopal petty coinage into a narrow circulatory niche.

Krug's cataloguing of this type as Bam#152 places it within a densely documented sequence; survivorship at this weight class is poor, the billon composition susceptible to corrosion over six centuries.
