| Additional information |
Frederick II of Austria — "the Quarrelsome" — spent much of his reign in open conflict with Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen, and these small bracteate-style pfennigs were struck during a period when ducal authority in Austria was being aggressively asserted against imperial interference. The Vienna mint was the primary issuing point, though attribution of individual dies to specific minting locations remains contested among specialists working with the CNA corpus.
Frederick was killed at the Battle of the Leitha in 1246, dying without an heir and extinguishing the Babenberg line entirely.
