Additional information

Philipp von Spanheim held the archbishopric from 1247 to 1257, when he was succeeded by Ulrich von Seckau — making the attribution question here genuinely unresolved rather than a cataloging convenience. Both reigns fall within Salzburg's sustained dominance of the Friesacher Pfennig tradition, a bracteate-adjacent coinage that circulated so widely across the southeastern Alpine territories that Friesach-type coins became a de facto trade currency from Carinthia into Hungary and down toward the Adriatic. The CNA Ca28 attribution brackets the issue precisely because the dies offer no internal evidence to distinguish between the two episcopates.
