| Additional information |
Ottokar IV ruled Styria through a politically turbulent period that ended with the Georgenberger Handfeste of 1186, a treaty he negotiated with the Babenbergs that effectively transferred Styria to Austria upon his death — which came in 1192, leaving no heir. These bracteate-style pfennigs from his reign were struck at Fischau, a mint south of Wiener Neustadt that served as one of the duchy's primary coin-producing centers during the 12th century.
