1 Pfennig - Leopold I of Gundlach

Leopold I served as Bishop of Bamberg from 1296 to 1303, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Hohenzollern burgraves of Nuremberg over territorial jurisdiction in Franconia. Small silver pfennig issues of this type functioned within a densely fragmented monetary zone where ecclesiastical mints competed directly with secular ones operating only miles apart. The Gundlach attribution in Krug places this piece within a tight regional die study — the suffix designation "d" indicating a specific variant within that grouping rather than a general type.
