Pfennig

While the legend states Johannes's name, which Johannes that is is not fully agreed upon. Some sources, like Federov, say this coin was minted under Johannes IV Duesborg (1513-1514); others, like Haljak, say they were minted under Johannes V Blankenfeld (1518-1527). The design of the Pfennigs definitely issued by Johannes V Blankenfeld are quite unique, and seeing as how the ruler who came before him, Christian Bomhower (1515-1518), switched from using the bust on the obverse to a crossed sword and key, it seems unlikely that Johannes V Blankenfeld would go back to the bust design. For that reason, the coins with Johannes's name will be listed under Johannes IV Duesborg here
