| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the large interlaced cypher 'LF' (for Ludwig Friedrich, Count of Montbéliard), rendered in bold relief and occupying the majority of the inner circle. Small lozenge-shaped ornaments flank the monogram at left and right in the field. The monogram is enclosed within a beaded inner border, itself surrounded by a wreath border composed of leafy branches with floral rosette ornaments, typical of early 17th-century German workshop craftsmanship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Montbéliard occupied an anomalous position in early seventeenth-century Europe — a German-speaking Lutheran enclave embedded in French territory, ruled by the Württemberg dynasty as a county of the Holy Roman Empire. Louis Frederick issued this half thaler in 1612 as a Schützenmünze, a prize or commemorative piece tied to a shooting festival, a tradition common to Swiss and southwestern German civic culture but relatively rare among the county's surviving coinage.
Binder catalogued only a handful of die combinations for this type. The 1612 date makes it one of Louis Frederick's earlier issues; he had held the county since 1608.
