| Additional information |
Rudolf III ruled as Duke of Austria only from 1298 to 1307, a brief and troubled tenure during which he governed jointly under the shadow of his father Albert I, King of Germany. Albert's assassination in 1308 by his own nephew came just after Rudolf's death, collapsing the family's grip on the duchy at a critical moment. Wiener Neustadt served as a secondary Habsburg mint during this period, producing small silver pfennigs in a bracteate-adjacent tradition inherited from earlier Babenberg practice.
