Additional information

Ferdinand I died in July 1564, making 1558 pieces from the Hall mint late-reign issues struck while he was simultaneously Holy Roman Emperor, King of Bohemia, and Archduke of Austria — a jurisdictional tangle that directly influenced how Tyrolean thaler coinage was authorized and distributed. The Hall an Inn mint had been the dominant silver-striking facility in the Habsburg hereditary lands since the late fifteenth century, fed by the enormously productive Schwaz silver mines whose output peaked in exactly this period before beginning a long decline.

The 72-kreuzer valuation places this squarely within the transitional accounting period before the Reichsmünzordnung of 1566 rationalized imperial denominations.
