| Additional information |
Leopold VI, "the Glorious," ruled the Duchy of Austria and Styria simultaneously from 1194 until his death in 1230, making him one of the most powerful territorial princes in the German-speaking world. He participated in the Fifth Crusade and briefly held Damietta negotiations, but his domestic coinage tells a quieter story — thin, bracteate-influenced deniers struck at a time when Austria's minting was still organized around regional ecclesiastical and ducal workshops rather than any centralized apparatus.
CNA B99 places this type firmly within the Viennese minting orbit. The fabric is characteristically fragile for the period.
