| Additional information |
Carinthia passed to the Habsburgs in 1286 when Rudolf I enfeoffed his son Rudolf II following the extinction of the Sponheim male line — the very political transition that brackets this coin's production window. The attribution between Meinhard II, Otto III, or the Austrian occupation remains unresolved, which is itself historically telling: the mint at St. Veit operated with enough continuity across these competing claims that the coinage changed little as lordship changed hands.
CNA Cb83 places this among the bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the inner Alpine region, where thin fabric and local silver sources dictated a production style distinct from northern German issues.
