1 Ducat - Albrecht von Wallenstein

Albrecht von Wallenstein struck coinage in his own name only after Emperor Ferdinand II granted him the Duchy of Friedland in 1625 — an extraordinary concession that reflected how thoroughly the Emperor depended on Wallenstein's privately financed armies during the Thirty Years' War. The right to mint was a sovereign privilege, and its exercise here was a deliberate assertion of status, not merely an economic function.

Wallenstein was assassinated on imperial orders in 1634, and Friedland was immediately dissolved. Six years of coinage.
