| Additional information |
Eberhard II held the Salzburg archiepiscopal see for over four decades, a tenure marked by fierce conflict with the Babenberg dukes of Austria and repeated excommunications issued and received across both sides. His mint at Salzburg operated with notable consistency through these disruptions, producing deniers that circulated widely across the Alpine trade routes connecting Bavaria to northern Italy. The CNA A38 type is one of several attributed to his long reign, and die studies have not yet produced a tight chronological sequence within the 1200–1246 bracket.
