| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored and crowned bust of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol facing three-quarters to the right, wearing elaborately worked plate armor with a ruff collar and a jeweled crown. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the cuirass and gorget. A circular legend surrounds the bust, reading FERDINANDVS D G ARCHIDVX AVSTRIÆ in Latin capitals. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the coin's surface. The overall style reflects the Renaissance medallic tradition prevalent in late sixteenth-century Habsburg minting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria and Count of Tyrol, governed Upper Alsace as part of his broader Habsburg territorial holdings until his death in 1595. His administration of the Alsatian lands was largely delegated through the Ensisheim regency government, and the coinage issued under his name there reflects the decentralized minting arrangements typical of Habsburg peripheral territories in the later sixteenth century. The Ensisheim mint was the operative facility for this issue.
The .875 fineness places this squarely within post-Augsburg standard silver — the 1559 Imperial Coinage Ordinance having set the benchmark that most Habsburg mints nominally followed, with varying degrees of compliance.
