Pfennig - Unknown ruler St. Veit

St. Veit an der Glan served as the capital of Carinthia and its primary mint site through much of the medieval period, a status it held until the Habsburgs consolidated Austrian territorial administration in the fourteenth century. The anonymity of this piece — attributable only to the duchy rather than a specific ruler — reflects how unreliable written mint records from this region are for the first half of the 1300s, a stretch that saw Carinthia pass from the Counts of Gorizia through the Meinhardiner line before falling to the Habsburgs in 1335.
