City of Regensburg
Regensburg City is one of the most significant mints in German history. The city flourished during the Middle Ages as a Free Imperial City and was an important trading center. Coinage in Regensburg began in the 9th century and was influenced by various rulers such as kings, dukes, and bishops. In the 11th century, the Bishop of Regensburg also started minting coins.
In the 16th century, the minting continued with denominations like gold guilders, batzen, half-batzen, and pfennigs. Special motifs included the coat of arms of the City of Regensburg and the Apostle Peter as the city's patron. Coins from Regensburg are highly sought after today and are among the rarest mintings.
