Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The County of Tyrol was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and Ferdinand II was the ruler of Tyrol at a time when the Protestant Reformation was gaining traction in the region. This coin may have been used as a form of currency during this period of religious and political upheaval.
