1 Thaler - William I of Greiffenstein and Reinhard of Hungen Ausbeutetaler

The Solms-Braunfels Ausbeutetaler of 1623 is a mine-production thaler, struck specifically to advertise and celebrate silver output from the county's own mining operations — a practice common among smaller German territories eager to demonstrate economic self-sufficiency during the fractious years of the early Thirty Years' War. William I of Greiffenstein and Reinhard of Hungen were co-rulers under the partitioned Solms inheritance, a dynastic arrangement that produced jointly-issued coinage of considerable rarity.

Davenport's ST#7743 designation places this firmly in the Ausbeutetaler specialty category. Issues from Solms-Braunfels in this period survive in very limited numbers.
