| Additional information |
Henry of Bobenhausen served as Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1572 to 1590, administering what had become a drastically diminished institution — by 1575, the Order's Prussian heartland had been secularized for nearly fifty years, following Albert of Brandenburg-Ansbach's conversion and the establishment of ducal Prussia in 1525. The Order retained its Mergentheim base in Franconia and nominal authority, but this thaler is essentially the coinage of a landlocked administrative remnant issuing money on the weight standard of an empire it could no longer meaningfully influence.
