| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein facing right, depicted in contemporary early 17th-century attire with a wide lace collar and decorated armour visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features, including a trimmed moustache and short hair. The date 1629 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. A circular beaded border separates the portrait from the surrounding Latin legend, which reads: ALBER • D • G • DVX • MEGAP • FRI • ET • SAG • PRIN • VANDAL, identifying Wallenstein as Duke by the grace of God of Mecklenburg, Friedland, and Sagan, and Prince of the Wends. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wallenstein struck these thalers from the silver mines at Gitschin (Jičín), which he controlled as part of his extraordinary accumulation of confiscated Bohemian estates following the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. By 1629 he held roughly a quarter of all Bohemia by land area, and the Friedland mint operated essentially as a private imperial enterprise — producing coins that asserted his quasi-sovereign ambitions with uncomfortable directness.
Ferdinand II would strip Wallenstein of his command that same year, partly in response to pressure from the German princes who found his independent power intolerable. The assassination at Eger followed in 1634.
