Comment
Minted during the first siege of Vienna by the Ottomans in September-October 1529 under Soleiman.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler (Siege coinage) 1529 from City of Vienna (Austrian States) is that it was minted during the Siege of Vienna in 1529, which was a brutal conflict between the Austrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The coin was made of silver and weighs 7.19 grams, which was a significant amount of silver at the time. Despite the turmoil and scarcity of resources during the siege, the city of Vienna was able to produce this coin, which is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Vienna during this difficult period in history.
