| Beschrijving keerzijde | Allegorical Renaissance composition depicting the three Olympian gods Neptune and Mercury being crowned by Apollo, shown in the sky above the scene, with the divine figures rendered in classical humanist style. The legend ADSIT APOLLO is divided to the left and right of the central design, invoking Apollo as divine patron. The composition reflects the humanist intellectual milieu of the Fugger family and their patronage of Renaissance art and learning. The overall design is executed in the style of the Augsburg school of die-engraving of the early 16th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Fugger banking dynasty — financiers to emperors, creditors to popes — rarely issued coinage under their own name. This 1518 half thaler from the County of Fugger is among the earliest datable pieces struck by the family in their own right, tied directly to Jacob Fugger the Rich at the height of his financial dominance over the Habsburg court. Just two years prior, Jacob had personally financed the election bribes that secured Charles I of Spain the imperial crown as Charles V.
The MB#1 designation confirms this is the first catalogued type for the issuer — a thin census.
