Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pfunder - Ferdinand I (Hall) ND (1526-1534) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first Emperor of the House of Habsburg to rule over the Austrian Empire.
