| Aversbeschreibung | Draped bust of Prince-Bishop Charles of Austria (Charles the Posthumous) facing right, clad in an embroidered mozzetta with broad flat collar, rendered in high relief. The effigy is set within a beaded or linear border, with the legend distributed around the periphery of the field. The portrait reflects the refined court engraving style of early seventeenth-century Tyrolean die-cutting. The Latin legend identifying Charles by his secular titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Tyrol encircles the bust. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central crowned composite coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Charles the Posthumous, flanked on either side by the mitred episcopal arms of Brixen and Wrocław, each accompanied by a crosier rising behind the shield. The heraldic composition is rendered in the elaborate baroque armorial style typical of early seventeenth-century ecclesiastical coinage, with the crowns and mitres finely detailed. The date 1618 is incorporated into the circumferential legend, split as 16 · 18 flanking a crossed-swords mint or privy mark. The reverse legend proclaims Charles's dual episcopal dignity as Bishop of Brixen and Wrocław. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Charles the Posthumous — Karl der Posthumus — was born in July 1618, roughly four months after the death of his father, Archduke Charles II of Further Austria. He survived only until November of the same year. This trial piece was struck in lead, almost certainly to test the die before committing to silver production, for a reign that lasted less than five months and produced no circulating coinage of any consequence. The Bishopric of Brixen operated under close Habsburg influence, and such a commemorative or anticipatory strike would have been entirely consistent with regional practice at the time.
