Bracteate Pfennig - Ottokar II and successors Völkermarkt

Ottokar II of Bohemia held Carinthia from 1269 until his defeat and death at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, after which Rudolf of Habsburg redistributed the duchy. The "and successors" attribution on Völkermarkt bracteates of this type reflects precisely that transition — the dies continued in use, or were closely copied, under the new administration without meaningful design interruption, making issuer attribution genuinely contested for individual specimens.

Völkermarkt held minting rights as one of Carinthia's more active bracteate-producing centers during this period. The CNA Cc26 classification groups these issues loosely by necessity.
