| Additional information |
Berthold V, who held the patriarchate from 1218 to 1251, was a member of the Andechs-Meran dynasty and one of the more politically active patriarchs of the period, navigating repeatedly between imperial and papal allegiances during the ongoing Hohenstaufen conflicts. The Windischgrätz mint — modern-day Slovenj Gradec — operated under patriarchal authority as part of Aquileia's considerable secular jurisdiction over Friuli and much of the eastern march.
The CNA Ch16 attribution places this firmly within the bracteate-influenced frisian pfennig tradition of the region, struck thin and broad in the manner common to trans-Alpine minting of the mid-thirteenth century.
