| Additional information |
Bernard II, Duke of Carinthia from the Spanheim dynasty, minted extensively at Heiligenkreuz during a period when Carinthia was navigating the fractious politics of the Babenberg-dominated southeast. The Heiligenkreuz mint operated under ducal privilege, one of several competing local authorities striking bracteate-style pfennigs across the region in the early thirteenth century. These thin silver pieces circulated primarily within the duchy and adjacent trading routes through the eastern Alpine passes.
The CNA Cq60 designation places this among the documented Carinthian sequence compiled by Koch and Dworschak — a classification that itself took decades of die study to stabilize.
