½ Thaler - George Frederick I

George Frederick I of Brandenburg-Ansbach acquired Jägerndorf through inheritance in 1543 and governed it as a Hohenzollern enclave within Silesia — an arrangement that made the duchy's coinage politically distinctive. His minting activity there ran under the authority of the Bohemian crown, and these half thalers were produced across a multi-year span that reflects steady if modest output rather than any single crisis or commemoration. The long production window, 1578 to 1584, means die marriages and minor varieties exist across the run.

George Frederick died in 1603 without legitimate heirs, triggering a succession dispute that would drag into the Thirty Years' War.
