Comment
(sic) ...The imperial minters of Wiener Neustadt and Graz had defected abroad, and Albert VI’s minter had disappeared. Under the pressure of the guilds, Emperor Frederick III decided to stop minting pfennigs. He charged Niclas Teschler, a wealthy burgher from Vienna, and the Hausgenossen guild with minting a better pfennig...Source: Oesterreichische Nationalbank: History of Austrian Money (Archived)
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1452 to 1493. He was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin may have been minted as part of those efforts. Additionally, the coin features an image of Frederick III on one side and the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire on the other, which suggests that it may have been used as a symbol of the empire's power and influence.
