Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the County of Görz, which was a small state in the Austrian States. The coin was minted during the joint reign of Engelbert III and Meinhard II, who were members of the powerful Meinhardiner dynasty that ruled the county for several centuries. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination suggest that it was widely used in everyday transactions, and its design may have been influenced by the artistic and cultural trends of the time.
