Comment
#26 in Hahn (2010) Die (inner)österreichische Münzprägung unter Erzherzog Karl (II.), Money Trend 09.2010Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles II Francis of Austria (Klagenfurt) 1586-1597 from Duchy of Carinthia (Austrian States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II Francis of Austria, who was the ruler of the Inner Austrian territories, including Carinthia, at the time. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic influence of the Habsburg Empire and the need for a standardized form of currency across the region. The use of gold in the coin's production also speaks to the value and wealth of the region at the time.
