Pfennig - Meinhard II, Otto III, Austrian occupation or Henry VI St. Veit

Carinthia passed to the Habsburgs in 1276 when Rudolf I defeated Ottokar II of Bohemia, but the region's coinage remained administratively tangled for decades — Meinhard II of Tyrol held the duchy from 1286, and after his death in 1295 it cycled through the hands named in this attribution before Habsburg consolidation took firmer hold. The St. Veit mint, long the principal striking facility for Carinthian issues, continued operating under each successive authority with little interruption, which is precisely why attribution to a specific ruler within this range requires die study rather than type alone.
