1 Pfennig 'Lilienpfennig' - Bernard I

Bernard I ruled Baden from 1372 until his death in 1431, a tenure that coincided with the fragmented monetary landscape of the upper Rhine, where dozens of competing regional authorities struck small silver pfennige of wildly varying fineness. The so-called Lilienpfennig designation refers to the lily motif — a type identifier used by collectors and cataloguers, not a contemporary name — and helps distinguish this issue from the numerous visually similar bracteate-influenced pfennige of the period.

At 0.34 g, these coins were struck near the absolute lower threshold of practical silver coinage, and surviving examples frequently show irregular planchets from the hand-cutting process.
