| Additional information |
Maximilian I of Bavaria was the driving force behind the Catholic League's military campaign at the outset of the Thirty Years' War, and 1625 falls squarely within the period of his greatest political leverage — the year Christian IV of Denmark entered the conflict against the Imperial cause. Maximilian had only received the Electoral dignity in 1623, transferred from the Palatinate branch of the Wittelsbachs as direct payment for his military support of Ferdinand II, and these thalers circulated alongside a currency system already being destabilized by the Kipper- und Wipperzeit debasing crisis of the preceding years.
The Hahn 106 attribution places this among a well-documented sequence, though die marriages within the type vary.
