1 Pfennig - Louis I

The Bishopric of Regensburg operated its mint under a complex arrangement of imperial and ecclesiastical authority throughout the thirteenth century, with Bishop Siegfried II among those who exercised active minting rights during this period. These small bracteate-style pfennigs circulated primarily within the Bavarian diocese and its immediate trade networks rather than at any meaningful regional scale. The reference Em Reg#221 places this squarely within Emmerig's cataloguing of Regensburg episcopal coinage — a specialist corpus that remains the standard for this series.
