| Additional information |
Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria and Count of Tyrol, was an obsessive coin collector who assembled one of the most significant Renaissance cabinets of curiosities in Europe. His Ambras Castle collection included purpose-struck presentation pieces alongside circulating coinage — and the Tyrolean mint at Hall was among the most technically advanced in the empire during his rule. Hall had pioneered rolling-mill technology in the 1560s, producing more consistent flans than most contemporary German mints could manage.
The two-year window of 1574–1575 for this type corresponds to a documented shift in die-cutting supervision at Hall, which accounts for subtle differences in execution captured under MT#214 and 215.
