The mint master Bernhard Behaim succeded his father of the same name, assuming responsibility for the coinage at Hall from 1507. On August 30th 1510 he was installed as chief imperial mint master, now with responsibility for the coinage not only in Upper but also in Lower Austria. While he had full-value ducats produced in Hall, in Vienna goldgulden with the image of St. Leopold were struck. We were unable to find any auction records for this type bearing the Latin year.
