| Reverse description | Within a recessed square panel, the bold Gothic monogram 'SL' in raised uncial letters, representing the joint rulers Stephan (III) and Ludwig (Louis VII) of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. The letters are large, centrally placed, and rendered in a characteristic late medieval Gothic hand. The surrounding field is plain, and the flan edge is irregular as typical of hand-struck issues of the period. |

| Additional information |
Bavaria-Ingolstadt was one of the fractured successor territories created by the 1392 division of the Wittelsbachs' Bavarian holdings among three ducal lines — a partition that weakened the dynasty for generations and left each branch scrambling to assert independent coinage rights. Stephan III ruled until 1413; his son Louis VII inherited both the duchy and its ongoing rivalry with Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Landshut.
The Wittelsbach partition coinages of this period are poorly documented in contemporary mint records, and attribution between the co-ruling dukes remains contested among specialists.
