| Additional information |
Meinhard VI ruled Görz during a period when the county was caught between the expanding Habsburgs and the Republic of Venice — a pressure that shaped every political and financial decision of his reign. The goldgulden he struck follows the Florentine weight standard almost exactly, a deliberate choice that made these coins acceptable across the northern Italian trade routes the county depended on for revenue.
Fr#456 is scarce. Görz never had the minting infrastructure of its neighbors, and the county's output over this entire twenty-two year span remains modest by any regional comparison.
