| Additional information |
Leopold VI ruled Styria from 1194 and Austria from 1198, making him the most powerful duke in the German-speaking world during his reign. His Graz mint produced bracteate-style pfennigs as part of a broader regional coinage that reflected Styria's growing administrative independence before its absorption into the main Habsburg patrimony. The CNA D1 classification places this among the earliest documented issues from the Graz mint.
