The mint in Hall, Tyrol started making such Guldengroschen coins in 1484. The specifications were then adopted for the pieces made in St. Joachimsthal ... and those quickly became more popular. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
