| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length armoured effigy of Archduke Ferdinand II facing right, wearing a crowned helmet and elaborate plate armour with jewelled ornaments, holding a sceptre over his right shoulder. The bust is rendered in the mannered style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Habsburg portraiture. The encircling legend reads in Latin, notably with the spelling AVSTIAE omitting the letter R. The crowned effigy occupies most of the coin's field, conveying the authority and martial dignity of the issuer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria and Count of Tyrol, governed Further Austria — which included the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace — from Innsbruck until his death in 1595. These thalers were struck at the Ensisheim mint, the administrative capital of Habsburg Further Austria in the region. Ferdinand had a well-documented obsession with art and collecting, founding what became the Ambras Collection, but his Alsatian coinage was purely fiscal in purpose, financing a territory perpetually squeezed between French ambitions to the west and Swiss cantonal pressures to the south.
