| Additional information |
Berthold III held the county of Andechs at a moment when the dynasty was aggressively consolidating territorial influence across the eastern Alpine approaches, and the minting of coinage at Stein in Oberkrain — modern-day Kamnik in Slovenia — reflects that push into Carniolan territory. The Counts of Andechs would be elevated to Dukes of Merania just two years after this issue, in 1185, making coins struck under the comital title increasingly rare by dynastic logic alone.
