“Gold-Tax” issued by Ferdinand I addressed to the Lower-Austrian Chamber [Present-day Austria; Archduchy of Austria]: “The Jews, who trade in Lower-Austria and are [therefore] obliged to deliver 5 pounds of spun-gold annually, have failed to submit this fee in the past 3 years. Therefore, the Lower-Austrian chamber is to order that the outstanding payment is collected and turned over to Burgrave Leopold Heyperger […] concurrently, the part that is annually due to the royal daughters in Innsbruck is to be submitted as well.”
