1 Pfennig - Otto V

Otto V ruled the diminished repartition of Schaumburg-Pinneberg during a period when the county's silver coinage was already struggling for relevance against larger territorial issues flooding Lower Saxon markets. At 0.32 g, these pfennigs represent the practical floor of silver coinage viability — struck thin enough that die alignment and flan preparation varied considerably across the nine-year emission, which accounts for the range of quality collectors encounter even within the same reference number.
