Pfennig - Henry V St. Veit

Henry V of Carinthia ruled the duchy for less than a decade before dying without legitimate heirs in 1161, triggering a succession dispute that eventually drew in the Babenberg dukes of Austria. This pfennig belongs to the St. Veit mint, which served as the primary ducal mint of Carinthia — St. Veit an der Glan remained the capital and administrative center of the duchy well into the thirteenth century, long after Henry's line had expired.
