| Additional information |
Ottokar II of Bohemia held Carinthia from 1269 until his defeat by Rudolf of Habsburg at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, one of the most consequential dynastic confrontations of the thirteenth century. St. Veit an der Glan was the ducal seat of Carinthia, and coins struck there under Ottokar carry the authority of a ruler who, at his peak, controlled territory stretching from Bohemia to the Adriatic. His refusal to acknowledge Rudolf's imperial election in 1273 set the collision in motion.
CNA Cb33 places this squarely within the thin-flan bracteate-influenced pfennig tradition of the southeastern Alpine mints.
