| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length armored effigy of John III Sigismund, Margrave of Brandenburg, facing right, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor with a ruff collar and a ducal mantle draped over the shoulders. The ruler holds a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left, both rendered with fine detail. A beaded inner circle frames the portrait, with the continuous Latin legend running along the outer periphery between the beaded border and the coin's edge, reading IOH. SIGISM. D: G. MAR. BR. S. ROM. IMP. ARCHIC. E. E. and the date 1611. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Sigismund ruled Brandenburg from 1608, but his conversion from Lutheranism to Calvinism in 1613 — announced dramatically on Christmas Day — fractured the Hohenzollern court and triggered years of confessional conflict with his overwhelmingly Lutheran subjects. The Brandenburg Estates refused to follow his lead, and he was reportedly pelted with filth by an angry crowd in Berlin. These thalers straddle that rupture, with the earlier strikes predating the conversion and later ones issued by a ruler who had permanently alienated his own people.
