Pfennig - Adalbert of Bohemia

Adalbert of Bohemia served as Bishop of Gurk from 1168 to 1177, appointed during a period when the Bishopric operated under significant influence from the Archbishopric of Salzburg, to which Gurk was suffragen. Coinage rights for Gurk's bishops during this era were exercised intermittently and often contested. This pfennig belongs to a thin series of issues attributable to Adalbert, catalogued under the Corpus Nummorum Austriacorum without extensive die-study documentation.
