| Additional information |
Ferdinand Charles ruled Tyrol as a semi-autonomous archduke under the Habsburg family compact, and his court at Innsbruck developed a reputation for extravagant spending that repeatedly strained the county's finances. The thalers struck in his name during the 1650s were produced at the Hall mint, which had been one of the most technically sophisticated coin-producing facilities in the Holy Roman Empire since the introduction of roller-press machinery in the sixteenth century. His reign ended in 1662 without a legitimate male heir, after which Tyrol reverted directly to the main Habsburg line under Leopold I.
