1 Thaler - Frederick Christoph Death

Frederick Christoph, Count of Mansfeld-Hinterort, died in 1631 — the same year the Thirty Years' War consumed the surrounding Saxon territories in some of its worst violence. Mansfeld itself had already been devastated; the county's mining operations, the economic foundation of the entire Mansfeld coinage tradition, were in serious decline. Death thalers of this type were struck as memorial issues rather than circulating currency, typically distributed among family and court.

Tornau 1344d indicates a specific die variant within what is a small surviving population for this branch of the Mansfeld comital family.
