| Additional information |
Friesach pfennigs were among the most widely circulated silver coins in the medieval German-speaking world, used extensively in trade across the eastern Alpine regions and into the Balkans. The type takes its name from the mint town of Friesach in Carinthia, though production was never confined there — archbishops of Salzburg, the Dukes of Carinthia, and various ecclesiastical lords all struck imitations and derivatives, which is precisely why catalog attribution to a specific issuer often remains unresolved. The "undetermined marks" designation signals that the die combination or mintmaster's symbol on this piece has not been conclusively assigned within the Luschin typology.
