Additional information

The Bishopric of Gurk, founded in 1072 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg, operated as a suffragan see whose coinage rights were exercised intermittently and often poorly documented — the unknown ruler attribution here is not cataloger's laziness but a genuine reflection of how little episcopal mint records from Carinthia survived the medieval period. CNA Cq1 places this among the earliest pfennig issues from Gurk, a series defined more by its gaps than its continuities.
