1 Pfennig - Wigileus Fröschl of Marzoll

Wigileus Fröschl of Marzoll served as Bishop of Passau from 1500 to 1517, a tenure marked by the diocese's persistent friction with the Habsburg administration over jurisdictional and financial autonomy. Small silver pfennig issues of this period were struck in very limited quantities for local circulation in the Inn valley region, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce — the Passau episcopal mint was neither prolific nor well-documented for this era. The Kelln and Schulten references remain the primary cataloging authorities, with few auction appearances on record.
