1 Thaler - Maximilian III

Upper Alsace passed to the Habsburg branch under Maximilian III, Archduke of Austria, following decades of contested jurisdictional authority over the region between the main Austrian line and various cadet branches. Maximilian had previously served as Grand Master of the Teutonic Order before being released from that role to govern the Further Austrian territories — an unusual career trajectory that placed an unmarried ecclesiastical administrator in charge of a secular mint.

The 1614 date falls just four years before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which would devastate Alsace and eventually strip Habsburg control of much of it under the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
