LASANTZ, or LASÄNZ, also LASÄNNZ VON FRIEDENEGG, HANS (Austr.). Mint-master at Gratz, 1577-1579 and 1586-1590; then at Prague, 1600-1609. Distinctive mark, three stars in shield. It does not appear very clear from documents whether the Hans Lasanz, Mint-master at Gratz, who left that place with a debt of 12000 fl. is the same as Hans Lasanz von Friedenegg, Mint-master at Prague, apparently between 1600 and 1609, and who provisionally filled the same office at Vienna, in 1605; but there is little doubt that it is so.
