| Additional information |
Ferdinand II ruled Tyrol and the Further Austrian territories — including Upper Alsace — as an archduke rather than emperor, a distinction that mattered enormously for minting rights. His Ensisheim mint in Upper Alsace produced thalers throughout this period under the authority of the Habsburg hereditary lands, not the imperial title. Ferdinand died in 1595, and the series ends precisely with his death.
The Klemsiet references 146–150 indicate multiple die marriages across the eleven-year span, meaning survivors should be checked against the specific obverse-reverse pairing before attribution is considered settled.
