Pfennig - Albert I

Albert I inherited the duchy from his father Rudolf I of Habsburg in 1282, but his authority over Austria was contested — he and his brother Rudolf II ruled jointly until 1283, when Rudolf was effectively sidelined due to illness. These pfennigs were struck under Albert's sole administration during a period when he was systematically consolidating Habsburg control over the Austrian mints, wresting revenue and oversight away from the ecclesiastical and noble interests that had dominated coinage rights in the region for generations.

The CNA B190 classification places this within the broader Wiener Pfennig tradition, thin bracteate-influenced silver issues that dominated Alpine circulation throughout the late 13th century.
