| Comment: | This is a lifetime issue. There were two posthumous issues which featured a ‘globule’ on the armor at the elbow instead, and are differentiated by the width of the shield on the reverse – the latter of which is much more narrow. These were issued by Leopold’s widow, Claudia von Medici, and their son Ferdinand Karl c. 1635 and later. |
Austria: Archduke Leopold V of TirolLeopold V Archduke of AUSTRIA was born on 9 Oct 1586 in Graz, Steiermark, Austria. He died on 13 Sep 1632 in Schwaz, Tirol, Austria. He was buried in the Jesuit Church, Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria. He was a member of the Habsburg family. Several Archdukes may have ruled at any one time. The title of Duke of Burgundy was by then meaningless. The title "Comes" translates as "Prince" of Tirol. |
