Beschrijving voorzijde Full-length effigy of a male ruler standing facing, clad in robes, holding a shield at his left side and an upright sword in his right hand; a six-pointed star appears to the left of the figure in the field. The design is rendered in the crude, bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan typical of the hammered technique.

Aanvullende informatie

Frederick II of Austria and the Duchy of Merania shared a fractious relationship throughout the 1230s, with territorial disputes along the Adriatic and Bavarian frontiers complicating any straightforward attribution of coinage. The Andechs-Merania dynasty was already in steep decline by this period — the male line had effectively collapsed after 1248 — making issues from the duchy's final decades administratively chaotic and, for collectors, genuinely difficult to assign with precision.

The CNA Ci25 reference places this among the bracteate-adjacent bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the eastern Alpine minting tradition, where thin flans and shallow relief were the norm for fractional silver well into the mid-thirteenth century.
