| Aanvullende informatie |
The Carl Ludwig House was a mountain refuge on the Rax plateau in Lower Austria, completed in 1877 and named for Archduke Carl Ludwig, the Emperor's younger brother and a known enthusiast of alpine tourism. The Austrian Alpine Club had been pushing infrastructure into the eastern Alps through the 1870s, and the opening of the refuge was considered significant enough to warrant an imperial commemorative issue — a distinction not every alpine dedication received.
The Thaler format was already archaic by 1877, the metric system having officially displaced it for trade purposes following the coinage reforms of 1857 and 1866. Commemoratives of this type were struck for presentation and collection rather than circulation.
