| Additional information |
Hall in Tirol operated one of the most important mints in the Habsburg lands, established in the 1470s when Archduke Sigismund needed to monetize the region's silver production from the Schwaz mines — at the time among the richest in Europe. By Maximilian III's tenure as Archduke of Further Austria, Schwaz output had declined sharply from its sixteenth-century peak, and the small fractional coinage coming out of Hall reflected a mint working with considerably tighter supplies than his predecessors had enjoyed.
Maximilian III died in 1618 without legitimate heirs, ending the Tyrolean cadet line and returning the territory directly to the main Habsburg succession under Emperor Matthias.
