Comment
Posthumous. Those coins were discontinued only in 1525 under Ferdinand I.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund, Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary and Bohemia, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote economic growth in the region. The coin's design features the archducal crown and the coat of arms of the County of Tyrol, highlighting the connection between the regional nobility and the ruling Habsburg dynasty. Additionally, the use of gold in the coin's minting reflects the region's rich mineral resources and the value placed on precious metals during this time period.
