| Additional information |
Ferdinand I was formally invested as ruler of Carniola in 1521, inheriting the Inner Austrian lands from his grandfather Maximilian I, but the Pfunder coinage for the region dates to the consolidation of his monetary administration in the later 1520s. The Markl reference range 1839–1845 indicates multiple die variants survive — not unusual given the distributed minting practices across Ferdinand's sprawling Central European territories, where local Münzmeister operated with considerable autonomy before the standardizing reforms of mid-century.
Carniola's mint at Ljubljana was among the smaller operations supplying this type.
