Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria, who was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled over the County of Tyrol in the late 16th century. The coin's design features an image of the Archduke on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the region's allegiance to the Habsburg dynasty.
