German States, Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut, Henry XVI the Rich

1393 - 1450 A.D.
Silver pfennig, 15.5 mm, 0.52 grams, 45 degrees
Ötting (Altötting, Germany) mint

O: hound left, tree on far side

R: Gothic letter H between two annulets, struck over raised square (quadratum supercusum)

Ref: Wittelsbach 3435

Notes: VF, rare. This is an interesting coin purchased mainly because it has a dog, but also because I have been to Bavaria-Landshut. I also appreciate its technique of manufacture. I find it quite pleasing in hand. Also, it appears that Henry XVI the Rich was not a nice man.
