| Additional information |
Ferdinand II of Tyrol died in January 1595, yet the Hall mint continued striking coins in his name for years afterward — a common but politically deliberate practice that avoided the administrative disruption of transitioning a mint's entire die inventory while succession remained administratively unsettled. The County of Tyrol passed to Emperor Rudolf II, who had little incentive to rush coinage reform in a peripheral alpine territory.
Hall am Inn was one of the most productive silver mints in the Habsburg lands, fed directly by the Schwaz mines upstream. By 1599 those mines were well past peak output, and the billon composition of this small denomination reflects ongoing pressure to stretch metal supplies across a high-volume denomination.
