Additional information

Frederick the Fair — Duke of Austria and a claimant to the Holy Roman imperial throne — lost the contested kingship to Louis IV of Bavaria after the Battle of Mühldorf in 1322, a defeat that permanently curtailed Habsburg ambitions for a generation. Coinage struck under his name in Styria continued well past his death in 1330, issued by successors who retained the die types as a matter of continuity rather than commemoration. The broad date range of this issue reflects that administrative habit rather than any single reign.
