Additional information

Philipp von Spanheim held the Salzburg archbishopric from 1247 until his death in 1257, after which Ulrich von Seckau — the Ulrich associated with Friesach issues — continued broadly similar minting traditions in the region. The attribution ambiguity between the two across CNA and Luschin references reflects genuine scholarly disagreement about which dies predate 1257. Friesach itself was among the most important minting centers in the eastern Alpine region during this century, producing the thin, broad bracteate-adjacent pfennigs that dominated local trade well before Austrian coinage consolidated under the Habsburgs.
