| Additional information |
The Guldiner was invented at Hall in Tirol in 1486 under Maximilian's father, Archduke Sigismund — the first large silver coin struck in Europe heavy enough to serve as a genuine trade equivalent to the gold Gulden. Maximilian inherited both the mint and the ambition, and Hall remained the principal production center for these pieces well into his reign as Holy Roman Emperor. The 1511 date places this coin squarely in the period when Maximilian was financing simultaneous campaigns against Venice and managing the fractious politics of the Imperial Diet.
MT#83 is among the more legible die pairings of the series, though Hall production varied considerably year to year depending on Tirolean silver supply from the nearby Schwaz mines, then the most productive in Europe.
