| Beschrijving voorzijde | The crowned arms of Montfort occupy the central field, surmounted by an elaborate crested helm adorned with mantling that falls gracefully to either side, terminating in decorative tasselled ends. The shield displays the characteristic Montfort quartered design. An arabesque ornament appears above the helm at the top of the field. The surrounding circular legend in Latin is separated by star stops and reads the names and titles of the co-ruling counts. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Montfort-Peggau was a minor Styrian comital line that had effectively exhausted its political relevance by the early seventeenth century, and the 1620 thaler issued jointly under Hugh XIII and John VII reflects a brief co-rulership arrangement common among fragmented German dynasties scrambling to maintain nominal sovereignty. The timing is notable: 1620 is the year of White Mountain, the opening catastrophe of the Thirty Years' War for the Protestant cause, and Styria was already deep in Habsburgs-enforced re-Catholicization under Ferdinand II.
The "Arabesque" designation in the type name refers to the ornamental strapwork framing used on the die — a stylistic detail that distinguishes this emission from the otherwise nearly identical Montfort thaler types of the same period and accounts for the separate Davenport subtype attribution.
