| Additional information |
Leopold IV held the march only five years before his death in 1141, a tenure too short to establish a substantial mint program. These bracteate-style pfennigs from the period fall within the transitional phase when Austrian minting was still loosely organized under Bavarian influence — Leopold himself had been Duke of Bavaria simultaneously, a dual title that complicated the attribution of several coin types to one authority or the other. CNA B18 represents one of the cleaner attributions in an otherwise messy sequence.
