Denier - Leopold VI Enns

Leopold VI, who ruled Austria and Styria simultaneously from 1194, was one of the wealthiest princes in the Holy Roman Empire — partly through the ransom he extracted from Richard I of England in 1192, funds that flowed through his father Leopold V's treasury and shaped Babenberg finances for a generation. The Enns mint, situated at a key crossing point on the river of the same name, was among the most productive of the Babenberg ducal mints during this period.

CNA B119 falls within a bracteate-adjacent tradition of thin Austrian pfennigs that collectors often misattribute to earlier Babenberg reigns. The typological sequence established by the Corpus Nummorum Austriacorum remains the only reliable framework for placing these undated issues.
