Denier - Ulrich II

Beschrijving voorzijde	Architectural motif consisting of two crenellated towers rising above a horizontal wall rendered in a schematic, Romanesque style. Small stars or pellets appear in the field flanking the towers. The overall design is characteristic of late 12th-century Austrian-Carinthian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage, struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan with weak areas at the periphery.

Aanvullende informatie	Ulrich II ruled Carinthia during a period when the duchy was caught between competing Babenberg and Wittelsbach ambitions following the extinction of the Spanheim male line's grip on the region. His coinage reflects the fragmented minting authority typical of the late 12th-century Austrian duchies, where local lords struck deniers in silver of variable fineness as central imperial control over coin production remained largely theoretical. The CNA Cb 9 attribution places this piece within a documented but sparsely populated series.
