| Additional information |
Rann — modern Brežice in Slovenia — served as a secondary mint for Salzburg during the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, operating under episcopal authority at a time when the archbishops controlled a sprawling network of minting rights across the eastern Alpine passes. Eberhard II held the see from 1200 to 1246, making him one of the longest-serving and most politically assertive archbishops of the period; Leopold VI of Babenberg, his co-issuer here, was simultaneously navigating crusade obligations and the fragile politics of the Styrian March.
The CNA Ck4 attribution places this squarely among the bracteate-adjacent pfennig issues of the region, thin-flan types struck for local trade rather than long-distance exchange.
