Additional information

Eberhard I served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1147 to 1164, a tenure defined largely by his loyalty to Frederick Barbarossa during the early years of Barbarossa's imperial consolidation. The Aquileia attribution in the type name reflects the stylistic and monetary influence radiating from the Patriarchate of Aquileia into the Alpine mint network during this period — Salzburg's pfennig coinage absorbed and reinterpreted those southern influences rather than simply copying them.

CNA Cs2 is among the earlier documented bracteate-adjacent pfennig types from the Salzburg archiepiscopal series, predating the fuller adoption of thin bracteate fabric that would dominate the region later in the century.
