This coin circulated through the reign of Stephan III. der Knäufel, 1392-1395 and of his son Ludwig VII. 1402-1413

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the Duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. The coin was issued jointly by Stephan III and Louis VII, who were rival claimants to the throne, and its production was likely a attempt to solidify their power and legitimacy. Despite the political instability, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the skill of the medieval mint masters.
