Comment
Known only from this copper pattern.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Guldiner - Maximilian I (Pattern; Hall) ND (1490-1519) from Austrian Empire made of Copper weighing 7.8 g is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 to 1519. This coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted during his reign, which were intended to test new designs and metallic compositions. The Pattern ¼ Guldiner was one of the smallest denominations in the series and was made of copper, which was a relatively new metal for coinage at the time. Despite its small size, the coin features a detailed design, including a portrait of Maximilian I on the obverse and a shield with the Imperial eagle on the reverse. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
