| Additional information |
Ottokar II acquired Styria through the 1260 Treaty of Vienna, which ended the War of Austrian Succession and gave him control over a region he would hold until his defeat by Rudolf of Habsburg at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278. These bracteate-style pfennigs were struck at Graz during that window of Přemyslid control over the duchy — a relatively brief interlude that nonetheless left a distinct numismatic signature, as Ottokar ran active mints across his expanded territories and issued regionally differentiated coinage rather than a unified type.
