Additional information

Ottokar II seized Austria in 1251 following the extinction of the Babenberg line, ruling the duchy until Rudolf of Habsburg defeated and killed him at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 — one of the most consequential dynastic reversals in medieval Central European history. These Vienna pfennigs were struck across that entire occupation, and attributing a specific piece to an early or late phase of his rule remains difficult without die study referencing the Koch and Luschin sequences.
