Ex Auctiones, eAuction 6, 20 May 2012, 206.The round pfennigs of Villingen form a small yet especially fascinating chapter in the rich numismatic history of this important medieval city, which occurred a strategically significant position between the economic centers of the Lake Constance region and the Rhine Valley. The type offered here is one of only two known issues of this kind and is approved primarily by the hearings of Trier, burried around 1403, and Tübingen, concealed around 1409. Remarkably, despite Villingen-s importance and the existence of at least six different this for the present type, the issue itself appears to have been struck only in very limited numbers This lot can be shipped to a US address.
