| Reverse description | A central multi-petalled rosette or star motif occupies the centre of the field, surrounded by a ring of smaller rosettes or pellets arranged in a circular pattern. The design is lightly struck and shows the characteristic incuse impression resulting from the hammered technique. A dotted border runs along the outer rim of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Völkermarkt, one of the oldest minting towns in Carinthia, operated under a tangle of overlapping jurisdictional claims throughout the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries — ducal authority repeatedly contested by episcopal and ministerial interests. The attribution "unknown ruler" here is not evasion but honest scholarship; the CNA sequence around Cc42 reflects genuine difficulty in assigning these bracteate-influenced pfennigs to specific individuals within the Meinhardiner line after Meinhard II's death in 1295 fragmented administrative coherence across the duchy.
