Denier - Eberhard II von Regensberg Friesach

Friesach deniers were among the most widely circulated coins in the eastern Alpine and Adriatic trade networks during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries — so dominant that "Friesacher Pfennig" became a unit of account across Slovenia, Croatia, and Hungary long after local minting had begun. Eberhard II held the archbishopric from 1200 to 1246, one of the longest tenures of the medieval period, and his issues span considerable die variation as a result.

CNA Ca 12 falls within a series notorious for imitation by regional lords, making attribution to the Salzburg mint itself — rather than a dependent or copyist — a meaningful distinction.
