Bracteate Pfennig - Unknown ruler Friesach

Friesach was among the earliest and most prolific minting sites in the eastern Alpine region, and its pfennigs circulated so widely that "Friesacher Pfennig" became a generic trade term across much of central Europe well into the 13th century. By 1330, however, that dominance had long collapsed — successive episcopal and ducal minting rights disputes had fragmented the coinage, and attributing specific bracteates to named rulers from this late period remains genuinely difficult. CNA Ca99 reflects that ambiguity directly.
