1 Pfennig - Sophia of Brabant

Sophia of Brabant held Thuringia in regency for her young son Henry I of Hesse after the Thuringian War of Succession tore the landgraviate apart following her father Ludwig IV's death. The coinage she issued was never uncontested — rival claimants from the Wettin dynasty controlled significant portions of the territory simultaneously, meaning coins struck in her name and those of her opponents circulated in direct competition within overlapping regions.

The Schütz I#3.3 classification places this among the earliest documented issues of what would eventually become the Landgraviate of Hesse.
