1 Thaler - Maximilian II

The Fugger banking dynasty had financed Habsburg emperors for over a century by the time this thaler was struck, but by 1624 the family's political reach had contracted sharply into its surviving lordships. Babenhausen and Wellenburg were among the last territorial holdings still generating coinage rights. Maximilian II, Count of Fugger-Babenhausen, issued thalers under imperial minting privileges that the family had effectively purchased — directly or indirectly — through generations of sovereign debt.

Davenport's ST#6674 places this among the supplemental thaler series, reflecting its semi-territorial rather than fully sovereign status. Kull 102 confirms a known die pairing for this date.
