Comment
Not referenced by Herinek.Interesting fact
The ⅒ Thaler - Leopold I (Hall) 1667 coin from the Austrian Empire was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a new technology called "milled" or "machine-struck" coinage. This technology allowed for more precise and consistent minting, resulting in coins that were more uniform in weight, size, and design than previous coins. This innovation helped to increase the efficiency and security of coin production, making it more difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins.
