Additional information

Albert I ruled Görz during a period when the county was being pulled apart by competing dynastic pressures — Habsburg expansion to the west, the Patriarch of Aquileia to the south, and internal divisions among the Görz-Tirol comital line that had already split the family's holdings by the 1270s. The Lienz mint, seated in the upper Drau valley, operated as a distinctly regional instrument of Albert's authority precisely because that authority was contested.

The denier type catalogued under CNTM Li49 is among the thinner-documented issues of the Austrian states series, with surviving specimens sparse enough that die linkage studies remain incomplete.
