The shield is suspended by decorative foliate or interlaced scroll-work above, with a Gothic minuscule letter 'O' pendant below the shield in the field, serving as an initial mark for the issuing counts Otto I and Otto II. |

| Additional information |
Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt was a short-lived partition of the Palatinate Wittelsbach holdings, created in 1410 when Elector Ludwig III divided territories among his brothers. Otto I received Mosbach and later Neumarkt; his son Otto II continued the line until his death in 1461 extinguished the branch entirely, reverting the lands to the main Palatinate line. The fifty-year joint attribution on this pfennig reflects the difficulty of assigning undated bracteate-era small silver to specific reigns within a dynastic co-issue sequence.
