Pfennig - Albrecht II von Österreich Enns

Albrecht II ruled Austria from 1330 until his death in 1358, earning the epithet "the Lame" following a paralytic illness contracted around 1333 that left him largely bedridden for the final decades of his reign. Administration fell increasingly to his brother Otto and later his sons, yet the Viennese mint and regional minting at Enns continued operating under his name throughout. The Enns mint had functioned intermittently since the Babenberg period; its output under Albrecht reflects continued demand for small silver in the Traun valley trade routes.
