| Additional information |
Matthias II died in March 1619, which makes a coin bearing his name and dated 1620–1621 the product of a dying administration's bureaucratic inertia — the Hungarian mint continuing to strike in his name well after his death, a practice not uncommon before standardized succession protocols tightened across Habsburg territories. The short overlap with Ferdinand II's assumption of the Hungarian throne makes attribution between the two reigns genuinely complicated for this type.
