| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a seated or standing episcopal figure in frontal presentation, consistent with representations of the Bishop of Passau on Ewiger Pfennig coinage of Otto of Lonsdorf. The design is rendered in the schematic, linear style typical of mid-13th century Bavarian ecclesiastical coinage, with stylized vestments and a possible crozier or pastoral staff indicated. The flat, worn field and irregular flan edges reflect the hammered technique and the coin's extended circulation as an 'eternal pfennig.' |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto of Lonsdorf, Bishop of Passau from 1254 to 1265, issued this bracteate-style pfennig under the principle of the ewiger pfennig — the "eternal penny" — a monetary reform adopted by several south German ecclesiastical territories in the mid-thirteenth century. The concept was straightforward: rather than periodically recalling and reissuing coinage at a loss to the holder (the Renovatio monetae system that had long allowed lords to extract revenue through forced exchange), the eternal penny circulated indefinitely at face value. Passau's adoption aligned with a broader episcopal rejection of the renewal tax as a revenue mechanism.
Kelln Pas#36 is among the scarcer documented types from Lonsdorf's episcopate.
