Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund, Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary, who ruled from 1477 to 1489. The coin features an image of Sigismund on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 6.42 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
