| Additional information |
Brno's municipal mint operated under the authority granted during Albrecht V of Habsburg's rule over the Margraviate of Moravia — a period of significant administrative consolidation following the turbulent Hussite Wars, which disrupted coin production and trade routes across the Bohemian Crown lands throughout the 1420s. The city's right to strike its own pfennigs was a practical concession to local commerce during years when central authority was repeatedly tested by military and religious upheaval.
At 0.26 g these pfennigs were among the lightest silver denominations in circulation, vulnerable to clipping — a chronic problem with thin bracteate-influenced coinage across the region during this period.
