The County of Tyrol formed part of the Habsburg heartland from the fourteenth century onwards. Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705, issued billon coins at the Hall mint in his capacity as Count of Tyrol for regional circulation. Pieces of 3 Kreuzers were among the most widely used small change in everyday trade during the late Habsburg period. Hall in Tyrol ranked as one of the most important mints in the empire and was known for its high standard of coinage.

About me

Coins have been part of my life for almost thirty years. It started with the things I found in the ground as a boy, and it never stopped. First the searching, then the reading and figuring out, and the collecting. Dealing came much later, and even though it is how I make my living now, I still enjoy looking at every piece the way a collector does.

Everything you see here has passed through my own hands. I describe and photograph each piece myself. There is no team behind me. You always deal with me.

Your purchase is guaranteed

Every shipment goes out registered with track & trace, and I pack everything myself. If something goes wrong along the way, I cover the cost. That risk is mine, not yours.

I ship on two fixed days a week, Monday and Thursday. The track & trace is added to your order so you can follow your parcel online.

Three things that are possible with me

• Not able to pay in one go right now? Paying in parts is possible, and I can reserve a piece for you with a down payment.
• Several pieces in mind? Send me a message through MA-Shops with the item numbers and I will see what I can do for you.
• Looking for something and not sure whether I have it? Just send a message. I do not have everything online. Tell me what you are after and I will keep an eye out for you and let you know as soon as I have something.

Practical

For payments within Europe I recommend an IBAN transfer (SEPA), which saves you the extra costs of third parties.

Would you rather see a piece in hand first? That is possible by appointment. Send me a message telling me which piece it is and we will arrange something.

If you are unsure about a coin, feel free to ask for extra photos or for a detail you cannot see clearly on the scan.

Kind regards, Vincent
