| Additional information |
Wladislaus of Silesia held the Archbishopric of Salzburg for only five years before dying in 1270, his tenure marked by ongoing friction with the Bohemian king Ottokar II over territorial claims in the region. The coinage attributed to his rule is accordingly scarce, and the CNA type A 44 represents one of the narrower windows of medieval Austrian ecclesiastical minting.
