| Additional information |
Ferdinand III didn't become Holy Roman Emperor until 1637 — this coin was struck while he held the title Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary and Bohemia, issued from the St. Veit (Klagenfurt) mint in Carinthia during the thick of the Thirty Years' War. The Habsburg mints were under enormous fiscal pressure in this period, supplying silver to fund campaigns that had already consumed a generation. St. Veit production was comparatively limited against the major Bohemian and Tyrolean outputs, which accounts for the relative scarcity of Davenport 3361 survivors in any condition.
