| Additional information |
Ferdinand II ruled Tyrol as an archduke from 1564 until his death in 1595, and the Hall mint — established in the Inn valley specifically because of its proximity to Tyrolean silver sources — was among the most productive taler-striking facilities in the Habsburg hereditary lands. Ferdinand was an enthusiastic collector and patron; his Kunstkammer at Ambras Castle remains partially intact today. His court's appetite for prestige objects extended to coinage, and Hall produced presentation-quality strikes alongside ordinary circulation pieces throughout his tenure.
MT#280 places this within a long-running Hall taler series. The .875 fineness was standard for Habsburg taler coinage of this period, set by the Augsburg monetary ordinance of 1559.
