Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II of Tyrol, who was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled over the County of Tyrol, a region in the Austrian States. The coin features an image of Ferdinand II on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 24.64 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
