Pfennig - Henry IV Stein in Oberkrain

Henry IV, Duke of Merania, held Istria and Carniola briefly in the early thirteenth century as part of the Andechs territorial expansion through the eastern Alpine reaches. The Stein mint — located at what is now Kamnik in Slovenia — was one of the few active striking facilities in Carniola at the time, and its output from this precise window is documented in only a handful of die varieties under CNA classification.
