Comments
Considered the first silver coin of that size, ancestor of the futur slightly smaller Thalers of Joachimsthal, and crown sized coins.
Guldiner is the contraction of “Guldengroschen”, because this coin had the same value as the “Goldgulden” (3,3 g gold, 0,750 fineness). It was divided in 60 Kreuzer.
Mintmaster Wenzel Kröndl, MT#64, Davenport 8087. There is a type designed by Wolgang Peck (MT#63) (more space around the date on reverse, no teeth in the inner circle on obverse)
