Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hälbling coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bernhard von Spanheim, who was the Duke of Carinthia from 1202 to 1256. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from the Austrian States during this time period, and its small weight of 0.5 grams makes it an unusual and unique piece in the history of coinage.
