The Prince's Stone

The Prince's Stone (German: Fürstenstein, Slovenian: Knežji kamen) is the base of an ancient Roman ionic column, in which the coat of arms of the Duchy of Carinthia were engraved during the Middle ages. The Prince's Stone played an important role in the ceremonies surrounding the installation of the Princes of Karantania and later, together with the Duke's chair, of the Dukes of Carinthia which were hold in Slovenian language. It stood northwest of the Carolingian palatinate of Karnburg (slov.: Krnski grad) - a village 5 km north of Klagenfurt, the capital of the Austrian state of Carinthia. In 1862 it was transferred to the Provincial museum, since 2005 it can be seen in the foyer of the regional parliament of Carinthia.

The Prince's stone is depicted on the national side of the Slovenian 2 cent coin.
