Additional information

Rudolf I of Habsburg became Duke of Carinthia in 1276 after defeating Ottokar II of Bohemia, and the St. Veit mint — the historic capital of Carinthia — was among the first administrative tools he leveraged to assert control over the duchy. These thin bracteate-style pfennigs were struck within a narrow window before Rudolf redistributed Carinthia to the Counts of Görz and Tyrol in 1286 as political payment, ending direct Habsburgs involvement with the mint for a generation.
