About Hall in Tirol
Hall in Tirol, the old salt town east of Innsbruck, with one of the best kept old towns of Austria and the mint that struck one of the first large silver coins of Europe in 1486.
Hall grew rich from salt mined in the Halltal from the 13th century. The Tyrolean mint moved here in 1477, and in 1486 it struck the Guldiner, an ancestor of the thaler. The mint closed in 1809.
The old town is free to walk at any time. The mint museum in Burg Hasegg is closed on Mondays and for part of the winter, except for booked groups. Visitors can strike a coin themselves.
