| Additional information |
The Guldiner struck at Hall in the Inn Valley was among the earliest large silver coins produced in quantity in the Western world — a direct consequence of Maximilian I exploiting the rich silver deposits of the Tyrolian mines. The Hall mint held a particular significance for Maximilian, who used it as a primary instrument for funding his perpetually cash-strapped military campaigns and dynastic ambitions across the Habsburg territories.
The 1511 date places this piece late in Maximilian's reign, a period when he was simultaneously negotiating the League of Cambrai against Venice and managing the financial aftermath of the failed 1508 imperial coronation march on Rome, which never reached the city.
