Comment
This thaler was one of the first to be struck on a roller ("walzentaler") for Ferdinand I.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted posthumously, meaning after the death of King Ferdinand I, who ruled the County of Tyrol in the 16th century. This coin is a rare example of a posthumous coinage, and its minting was likely a tribute to the king's legacy and impact on the region.
