1 Pfennig - Otto of Lonsdorf

Otto of Lonsdorf's episcopate at Passau coincided with a period of intense competition between Bavarian ecclesiastical mints and the expanding monetary authority of the Wittelsbachs. These small bracteate-style pfennigs circulated primarily within the diocese's trading networks along the Danube corridor, where Passau's position as a river entrepôt gave its bishops unusual leverage over regional exchange. The Kelln reference places this among a tightly sequenced group of episcopal issues, several of which show overlapping die use suggesting a single mint working across consecutive pontificates.
