1 Schilling

The Bishopric of Bamberg exercised temporal coinage rights throughout the medieval period under imperial privilege, and the schilling issues of the late 1430s fall squarely within the tenure of Bishop Anton von Rotenhan, who held the see from 1431 to 1459. These were years of recurring friction between the Franconian bishoprics and the surrounding secular territories over toll and market rights — disputes that made controlling local silver coinage a matter of practical political leverage, not mere prestige.

The Schr#246 attribution places this within Schöttle's systematic cataloguing of south German ecclesiastical issues, where Bamberg schillings of this decade are noted as scarce survivals relative to their presumed mintage.
