Comment
2 types for 1572, with or without ornamentations on sides of the shield on reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler coin from County of Tyrol (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of Ferdinand II of Tyrol (Mülhau) on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of rulers in a more realistic manner. This design choice was likely made to emphasize the symbolic nature of the coin and to highlight the authority and power of the ruler.
