1 Guldenthaler - Charles II Francis of Austria Klagenfurt

Charles II — the Inner Austrian archduke who ruled Carinthia, Styria, and Carniola as a separate Habsburg appanage after the 1564 partition of Ferdinand I's territories — struck this guldenthaler at Klagenfurt during a period of acute confessional tension. He was himself Catholic but governed a nobility overwhelmingly Lutheran, a contradiction he tolerated for political survival until the 1570s, when Counter-Reformation pressure from Rome and Madrid stiffened his hand. The Klagenfurt mint operated under these conditions throughout the entire emission span covered by this type.

Davenport's ECT#49 grouping spans nearly a decade of dies, meaning individual pieces can vary considerably in sharpness depending on die state.
