| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by the elaborate quartered arms of Waldeck, featuring a cross, an eagle, a star, and horizontal bars among other heraldic charges, all within an ornate baroque cartouche supported by foliate mantling. Above the shield rises a large crested helm surmounted by a double-headed imperial eagle flanked by additional helm crest supporters. The circular legend surrounding the composition reads GEORG FRIDE IOHAN WOLRADT G Z WALDECK, naming the three co-ruling counts of Waldeck. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The three counts named on this thaler — George Frederick, John II, and Henry Volrad — reflect the Waldeck custom of joint rule among agnatic heirs, a practice that persisted in the county well into the seventeenth century despite the administrative friction it routinely caused. By 1653, Waldeck was still rebuilding after the Thirty Years' War had left much of the Westphalian countryside depopulated and economically gutted. A silver thaler of this weight, struck just five years after the Peace of Westphalia, was itself a statement of fiscal recovery.
Davenport's attribution under ST#7822 places this among the so-called "Sterbethaler" series — issues connected to dynastic transitions rather than purely commemorative or trade purposes.
