| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein facing right, wearing a ruff collar and cuirass, set within a beaded inner circle. The ducal effigy is rendered in a bold, slightly crude hammered style typical of early 17th-century Bohemian coinage. The abbreviated Latin legend runs in the outer field, interrupted at top and bottom by the inner circle border. A small ornamental device appears at the base of the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wallenstein issued coinage from Friedland between 1623 and 1634 under imperial privilege granted by Ferdinand II — payment, essentially, for financing Habsburg military campaigns out of his own pocket during the Thirty Years' War. The 1627 ducat falls squarely within his peak power years, when he commanded an imperial army of roughly 100,000 men and effectively ran Bohemia's economy through a network of leased crown estates acquired after the Battle of White Mountain.
He was assassinated by imperial officers at Eger in February 1634, ending the duchy and all coinage with it. Friedland issues saw limited circulation almost by design — these were prestige instruments, not pocket change.
