| Additional information |
Friesach deniers — struck at the Archbishopric of Salzburg's mint in Carinthia — became the dominant trade coin of the eastern Alpine and Adriatic commercial networks through the 12th and 13th centuries, circulating as far as the Levant in crusader contexts. Eberhard II held the archbishopric from 1200 to 1246, a tenure long enough to see multiple die generations and considerable variation in fabric and module across the type.
CNA Ca 17 is among the better-documented attributions in the Friesach series, though die linkage studies have complicated clean distinctions between issues of successive archbishops. The thin, broad flan characteristic of Friesach production makes edge cracks nearly universal on surviving examples.
