Comment
Minted under Leopold III or IV, Margrave and regent of Tyrol.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of either Leopold III or IV (the exact ruler is not specified) in the 14th century, and it features an image of the ruler on one side and the Tyrolean coat of arms on the other. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small, weighing only 0.5 grams. This suggests that it may have been used for small transactions or as a token of value rather than as a large denomination coin. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the County of Tyrol, which is now a province in northern Italy, highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
