Comments
Siege coinage of Týn nad Vltavou is dubious and some sources point to them being more modern fakes. However, two pieces were found by metal detectors on the battlefield of Austerlitz.
Minted in Týn nad Vltavou/Tyn an der Moldau.
Also called "goat coins" because soldiers use to pay for goats with those.
Exist also as 3 and 7 Kreuzer with different types of all 3 values.
Mix between Herber 15 (which is uniface) and Herber 16 (which has Milit on reverse, but no Cassier on obverse).
