Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Hälbling coin from the Duchy of Austria is that it was minted during the reign of Albrecht III, who was known for his efforts to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The coin's design, which features the inscription "bloß Geld" (meaning "just money" in German), reflects the value placed on currency during this time period. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively lightweight, weighing only 0.22 grams. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
