| Additional information |
Friesach pfennigs occupy an unusual place in medieval monetary history: minted in Carinthia from the mid-twelfth century onward, they became the dominant trade coin across the eastern Alpine and Adriatic regions for well over a century, referenced in Venetian and Dalmatian contracts by name long after their quality had begun to decline. The issues attributed to Rudolf von Hohenegg and his immediate successors fall precisely in that degradation period, as successive archbishops reduced fineness under fiscal pressure during the conflicts surrounding the Habsburgs' consolidation of Austria.
CNA Ca72 sits near the end of the Friesach type's commercial relevance.
