1/2 Soldo - Leopoldo II

Gorizia passed to Habsburg control in 1500 and remained one of the dynasty's smaller Italian-administered territories, issuing its own distinctive copper coinage well into the late eighteenth century despite its modest size. Leopold II's brief reign — he died in March 1792 after less than two years as Holy Roman Emperor — means the production window for this type was narrow by definition. The county's separate coinage tradition was effectively extinguished shortly after, absorbed into broader Habsburg monetary consolidation during the Revolutionary Wars period.
