| Additional information |
St. Veit an der Glan served as the capital and primary mint of Carinthia throughout the late thirteenth century, a period of acute dynastic instability following the extinction of the Spanheim line in 1269 and the subsequent contest between the Habsburgs and the Counts of Gorizia over the duchy. The "unknown ruler" attribution reflects genuine historiographic uncertainty — surviving documentary evidence is insufficient to assign these particular dies to a specific holder of ducal authority during that contested interval.
CNA Cb120 places this type squarely in that interregnum window.
