Context

Christopher I divided ruling of Baden between three of his sons in 1515, coins were made in union between them (except for 1 coin type*) until the death of Philip I and are thus attributed in catalogs to Christopher I who still was on the coins as he still lived at the time. - Philip I, co-ruled with two brothers 1515 – 17th, September, 1533 (ruling at Sponheim; ruled as governor of Baden until 1527 when he inherited part of his father's Margrave of Baden as well as Durlach, Pforzheim, and Altensteig, as well as parts of Eberstein, Lahr, and Mahlberg.) > Bernhardine line; Catholic (called Baden-Baden line at the death of Philip I) - Bernhard III, co-ruled with two brothers 1515 – 1533; sole ruler of Baden-Baden line from 1533 - 19th, June, 1536 (inherited part of his father's Margrave of Baden and then inherited most of his brother Philip's lands at his death except Pforzheim, which went to his other brother, Ernest I of the Ernestine line) > Ernestine line; Protestant (called the Baden-Pforzheim line at the death of Philip I; later on called the Baden-Durlach line when Charles II moved the capital to Durlach when the line had control over more land) - Ernest I, co ruled with two brothers 1515 – 1533; sole ruler of the Baden-Pforzheim line 1533 - 26th, September, 1552 (inherited Pforzheim from his brother Philip I at his death) *In some sources, like Krause, there is a joint issue pfennig with BP at the top of a Baden shield (1515-1533) made for use just in the lands under Bernhard III and Philip I but not of Ernest I, MB# 103. In some other sources they say that this BP does not stand for the 2 rulers but for Bernhard I and the mint initial for Pforzheim mint N# 107069
