| Additional information |
Glatz — the fortified county in southern Silesia — operated with considerable monetary autonomy during the late fifteenth century, issuing its own small silver pfennigs while nominally under Bohemian crown authority. The county changed hands repeatedly between Hussite factions and Habsburg claimants across this period, and local coinage served partly as an assertion of administrative continuity during those disruptions.
The silver content of these issues is typically very low — closer to billon than to fine silver — reflecting both regional ore quality and the inflationary pressures on small denomination coinage throughout the Holy Roman Empire's eastern marches in this period.
