| Additional information |
Carinthia passed to the Habsburgs in 1335 following the extinction of the Görz-Tyrol line with the death of Henry of Bohemia — the precise starting point of this issue's date range. The "Unknown ruler" attribution reflects genuine uncertainty: several small pfennig types from this transitional decade remain unassigned between Albert II and his co-regent Otto, as the two Habsburgs administered the duchy jointly and mint attribution is not always resolved by die study alone.
