IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.

The Duchy of Carinthia was located in southern Austria and parts of northern Slovenia. It was separated from the Duchy of Bavaria in 976. Carinthia remained a state of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, though from 1335 it was ruled within the Austrian dominions of the Habsburg dynasty. Bernhard von Spanheim was Duke of Carinthia for 54 years from 1202 until his death in 1256. A patron of chivalry and minnesang (lyric and song writing), Bernhard's reign marked the emergence of the Carinthian duchy as an effective territorial state. This type was minted at the minted at the Kostanjevica Monastery founded by Bernhard von Spanheim at Landstrass.
