Below the denomination, a symmetrical spray of two laurel branches extends outward from a central point. The date 1809 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by small floral ornaments. The peripheral legend NACH DEM CONVENTIONS FUSS runs around the upper and lateral rim in evenly spaced Latin capitals.

Aanvullende informatie

Andreas Hofer led the Tyrolean peasant uprising against Napoleonic and Bavarian occupation in 1809, and this coin was struck during the brief window when the rebels actually controlled Innsbruck. Hofer governed the Tyrol for only a few months before French forces crushed the revolt. He was captured in January 1810 and shot by firing squad in Mantua on Napoleon's personal orders.

KM#149 is one of the very few coins ever issued by an insurrectionary government in the German-speaking world — minted under military occupation conditions, with irregular dies and inconsistent silver fineness across surviving specimens.
