| Additional information |
Meinhard II of Tyrol acquired Carinthia in 1286 after supporting Rudolf of Habsburg's campaign against Ottokar II of Bohemia — the duchy was effectively his reward for switching allegiances at the right moment. The St. Veit mint, long the principal striking facility for Carinthian coinage, continued production under this arrangement, issuing pfennigs jointly attributed across Meinhard, his son Otto III, and the Habsburgs' own Henry VI during a period of overlapping dynastic claims.
CNA Cb101 places this type within a transitional attribution window where die evidence alone rarely settles the question of which authority ordered a specific striking.
