Additional information

Ferdinand Charles was an archduke, not yet four years old in 1622, which means this thaler was struck in his name under regency — his mother Claudia de' Medici effectively governed Tyrol following the death of Archduke Leopold V in 1632. That dating discrepancy points to a longer regency coinage program, with Hall continuing to strike thalers bearing the young archduke's name across the 1620s and into the 1630s as a matter of dynastic continuity rather than any personal authority he exercised.

The Hall Mint was among the most prolific silver-striking facilities in the Habsburg lands, fed directly by Tyrolean mountain silver.
