Pfennig - Rudolf I or sons Albert I and Rudolf II St. Veit

Rudolf I's acquisition of Carinthia following the defeat and death of Ottokar II of Bohemia at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 reshaped the political geography of the central Alpine region and brought St. Veit am Pflaum — the Carinthian ducal seat — under Habsburg administration for the first time. These pfennigs were struck there during the transitional decade when Rudolf was consolidating control and distributing Carinthian governance among his sons Albert and Rudolf II, making precise attribution to any single issuing authority genuinely difficult.
