Additional information

Frederick V ruled the Burgraviate of Nuremberg during a period of acute tension with the city of Nuremberg itself — a rivalry that would ultimately end with the Hohenzollern burgraves selling their castle and rights to the city in 1427. This schilling belongs to the final decades before that transfer, when Frederick and his successors were still minting competitively against the imperial city that was steadily outpacing them economically and politically.

The Schr#160 attribution places it firmly within Schöttle's framework for southwest German and Franconian issues; the Wilm#405 cross-reference confirms it in Wilmersdörffer's regional corpus. Both catalogs treat this type as scarce rather than rare.
