Pfennig - Hartmann von Froburg

Hartmann von Froburg held the countship of Zofingen during a period when the town was actively consolidating municipal privileges, and coinage rights were among the most jealously guarded of these. The Froburg dynasty itself was extinguished in the male line by 1367, making issues tied to named members of the family useful anchors for attribution within what is otherwise a poorly documented sequence of medieval Swiss bracteate-adjacent issues.

The dual HMZ references reflect genuine scholarly uncertainty about whether the two catalogue entries represent distinct dies or a single type with variant classification.
