Additional information

Ferdinand I struck ducats at Klagenfurt as Archduke of Austria and King of Bohemia and Hungary before his elevation to Holy Roman Emperor in 1558, using the Carinthian mint to service a domain assembled largely through the extinction of the Jagiellonian male line at Mohács in 1526. The Klagenfurt mint was active only intermittently during this period, which accounts for the relative scarcity of surviving pieces attributable to this specific facility.

Fr#41 encompasses a tight cluster of dies across several years; Hahn's attribution narrows the identification considerably.
