Comment
#22 in Hahn (2010) Die (inner)österreichische Münzprägung unter Erzherzog Karl (II.), Money Trend 09.2010Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Carinthia is that it features an image of Charles II Francis of Austria, who was the ruler of the region at the time, on one side, and the Carinthian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the rise of the Habsburg Empire.
