Pfennig - Leopold VI Enns

Leopold VI ruled Austria and Styria simultaneously from 1194 until his death in 1230, making him one of the most powerful territorial princes of his generation. The Enns mint was among several he operated, with bracteate and thin-flan issues of this period serving the dense commercial traffic along the Danube corridor. Dating these issues precisely within their bracket is largely impossible without die-linkage studies; CNA B116 sits in the middle of a stylistically transitional phase for Austrian pfennig production.
