Pfennig - Frederick II of Walchen Friesach

Frederick II of Walchen served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1270 to 1284, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the Habsburgs as Rudolf I consolidated power following his election as German king in 1273. Friesach, a major minting center in Carinthia under Salzburg's ecclesiastical authority, had been producing bracteate-style pfennigs since the late twelfth century — a regional tradition that made "Friesacher" synonymous with the dominant silver currency across much of the southeastern Alpine trade network.

The CNA Ca48 attribution places this squarely within a documented sequence, though die studies on Frederick II's Friesach issues remain less exhaustive than those for his predecessors.
