Art dealer
Enoch Penish was born in Austria, probably during the later part of the 16th century. He was well established as a trader in art objects. Both Ferdinand III and Leopold I appointed Penish as Court Jew. In 1639, the Emperor purchased from him a golden chain, a golden necklace studded with diamonds and a diamond-studded plume of feathers. Penisch also served as stampcutter (stempelschneider) at the Breslauer Muenze (the mint of Breslau).
