| Additional information |
Rudolf II ruled from Prague but governed badly — his obsessive retreat into alchemy, astrology, and art collection left Bohemian administration increasingly paralyzed through the first decade of the seventeenth century. His brother Matthias exploited the dysfunction, wresting control of Hungary, Austria, and Moravia from Rudolf by 1608, then extracting the Letter of Majesty from him in 1609 under threat of armed force. The Kuttenberg mint, drawing on the silver wealth of the Bohemian mining town of Kutná Hora, continued striking through this political disintegration.
Dav EC II#3028 places this among the documented taler types of the period, though emission dates across the 1602–1612 window vary in scarcity year by year.
