| Additional information |
The Bishopric of Gurk, founded in 1072 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg, held minting rights as part of its ecclesiastical autonomy in Carinthia. Coinage from this see is scarce in any form; the narrow window of 1200–1228 corresponds to the episcopates of Dietrich II and Ulrich I, during which local silver production in the eastern Alpine region supported a small but documented output of bracteate-influenced deniers.
CNA Cq 3 is among the rarer attributions in the Corpus Nummorum Austriacorum series for ecclesiastical Carinthian issues.
