| Additional information |
Ulrich III ruled Carinthia during a period of acute dynastic instability in the southeastern Alpine duchies, his tenure bracketed by competing Babenberg succession claims and the eventual rise of Rudolf of Habsburg. The Windischgrätz pfennigs of this period belong to the broad bracteate-influenced coinage reform that swept through the region in the mid-thirteenth century, as local lords asserted minting rights increasingly independent of imperial oversight.
CNA Ch32 is among the thinner-flan issues of Carinthian ducal coinage, a characteristic of the regional minting tradition rather than a production flaw.
