| Additional information |
Ferdinand II ruled Tyrol as an archduke from 1564 until his death in 1595, governing the Further Austrian territories — which included the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace — as a largely separate administration from the main Habsburg court in Vienna. His long tenure produced a consistent taler coinage struck across multiple years, with the 1584 start date reflecting a recoinage or administrative reorganization of the Further Austrian mint output rather than a new reign. The Ensisheim mint served as the primary striking facility for this region.
