| Additional information |
Leopold I ruled for 47 years — the longest reign of any Habsburg emperor — yet his coinage from the Hall mint in Tyrol remains among the more tractable of his issues, produced in quantity from the silver flowing out of the Schwaz mines. By 1694, however, that output had been declining for over a century, and the mint was increasingly dependent on refined imports rather than local ore.
The Dav EC II#3244 designation places this piece within Davenport's systematic cataloguing of European crowns, where the Hall thaler series is distinguished from Vienna and Graz strikes primarily by mintmaster marks rather than anything obvious to a casual eye.
