Not referenced until the sale by Rauch in 2017. Close to Markl#1802.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pfunder - Ferdinand I (Graz) 1533 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted in 1533, which was just a few years after the Protestant Reformation began to take hold in Europe, leading to religious conflicts and political tensions throughout the continent. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that showcase the skill of the mint's craftsmen.
