1 Rappen - Leopold III

Further Austria (Vorderösterreich) was the loose collection of Habsburg territories in the Upper Rhine and Swabia, administered separately from the Tyrolean and inner Austrian lands following the 1379 Treaty of Neuberg, which divided the Habsburg inheritance between the Albertine and Leopoldine lines. Leopold III received these western territories under that partition and struck small silver pfennigs from mints including Breisach to serve local exchange. At 0.20 g, these coins were among the smallest silver denominations in circulation anywhere in the late medieval German-speaking world.
