| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav II Adolf died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632 — the same year this piece was struck — making Augsburg's issue an inadvertent memorial coin produced while its subject was still alive. The city, a major Lutheran stronghold, had been occupied by Imperial forces in 1629 under the Edict of Restitution and recovered Swedish protection only after Gustav's German campaigns turned the tide. Striking a thaler in his name was a pointed political statement by a city that had suffered directly for its confession.
Davenport's EC II reference places this among a cluster of city-issued Swedish alliance thalers from 1631–32, several of which share obverse die relationships.
