| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central oval cartouche displaying the Tetragrammaton (Name of God) in Hebrew script, surrounded by radiating rays of divine light. Above the cartouche, a hand extends downward from clouds of heaven holding a laurel wreath, symbolizing divine favor and military victory. A small oval escutcheon bearing the ducal arms, framed in an ornate baroque cartouche, divides the date 1634 in the lower field. The surrounding Latin legend QVOD. DEVS. VULT. HOC. SEMP. FIT. translates as 'What God wills, that always comes to pass,' reflecting the devout Protestant conviction of Bernhard during the Thirty Years' War. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar struck this thaler during his tenure as administrator of Franconia, a title granted by Sweden following the death of Gustav Adolf at Lützen in November 1632. The Swedish crown needed a reliable Protestant commander to hold the Franconian territories; Bernhard was the expedient choice. His "duchy" was entirely a military fiction — a region under occupation dressed in the language of feudal legitimacy to keep a talented general politically invested in the war.
Bernhard died of plague at Neuenburg am Rhein in July 1639, never having consolidated meaningful civilian control over Franconia. The coinage from his administration is accordingly brief and scarce.
