| Aanvullende informatie |
Wallenstein received the Duchy of Friedland in 1622 as direct payment for his financial and military services to Ferdinand II, and his right to strike coinage followed — an unusual privilege granted to a military commander rather than a hereditary prince. By 1628, when this thaler was issued, he was at the absolute peak of his power, commanding over 100,000 men and effectively operating as a semi-autonomous warlord within the Habsburg structure. Ferdinand dismissed him that same year under pressure from the Imperial princes, who feared exactly the kind of sovereignty this coinage symbolized.
