1 Pfennig - Rupert III

Aversbeschreibung	Bifurcated shield bearing the arms of the Palatinate: the dexter half displays a crowned lion rampant to the left (Palatinate lion), while the sinister half bears the lozengy pattern of the Bavarian arms. The shield is rendered in low relief within a plain field, typical of late medieval hammered bracteate-style pfennig coinage. No legend or inscription is present.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Rupert III ruled the Upper Palatinate while simultaneously pursuing the German crown, which he secured in 1400 after the Electoral College deposed Wenceslaus IV. Small silver pfennigs of this type funded the administrative machinery of a territory he was increasingly treating as a launchpad for imperial ambitions rather than a patrimony in its own right. The Götz reference places this among a tightly documented regional series, but surviving specimens are genuinely scarce — the Upper Palatinate's mint output was modest, and these fractions circulated hard.
