| Additional information |
Ulrich of Hardegg held Glatz as a Bohemian fief under Vladislaus II, and his tenure was short — the county changed hands repeatedly through the early sixteenth century as the Habsburgs consolidated control over Silesian territories. Coins struck under his authority fall within a two-year window at most, making this among the briefest issuing periods for any Glatz lord.
Silesian pfennigs of this period were produced in substantial numbers for local market use but survive poorly due to thin flans and heavy circulation in a commercially active border region.
