| Additional information |
Christian of Minden was the youngest son of Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, appointed Administrator of the Bishopric of Minden in 1599 at age seven — a purely political appointment that gave the Protestant Brunswick line control over an important ecclesiastical territory. These thalers were struck during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War, a conflict Christian would die in at the Battle of Stadtlohn in 1623, leading a mercenary army he had largely funded through issues like this one.
