Comment
St. Veit mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Carinthia is that it features a unique design, showcasing the coat of arms of Bernhard von Spanheim, the ruler of the duchy from 1202 to 1256. The coat of arms is depicted on the obverse side of the coin, surrounded by a simple border. This design was a common feature of coins from the Austrian States during this time period, and it served as a symbol of the ruler's authority and power.
