Author:

A concise English-language specialist catalogue designed for the practical identification of Archduke Leopold V’s Tyrolean thalers. The work organises the known issues into a systematic structure that allows collectors to move from rapid initial identification to precise determination of individual variants.
About the book
Identification of Archduke Leopold V Tyrolean Thalers by Dr. Iván Lux is a specialist reference devoted to the thaler coinage of Archduke Leopold V from the Hall mint in Tyrol.
The catalogue was specifically designed to simplify the identification of a coinage series characterised by numerous closely related dies and variations in portraits, legends and other details.
The work illustrates and describes 162 versions covering the known variants. Its identification system combines a rapid preliminary method with a detailed listing of individual versions, including images and circumscriptions. Rarity values are based on observed frequencies, while concordances link the author’s system with earlier literature.
The catalogue separately treats the period when Leopold acted as governor and the issues struck after he became sovereign, including posthumous issues.
