Comment
Walzerprägung (press with rolling dies). Those thick 2 and 3 thaler coins are described in MT p. 188.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers coin featuring Ferdinand II of Tyrol 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 a powerful ruler who played a significant role in the religious conflicts of the time. Despite the challenges of the era, the coin remains a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 16th-century Europe.
