| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Wolfgang William facing right, wearing a broad ruffled lace collar typical of early 17th-century aristocratic attire, with close-cropped curled hair. The effigy is contained within a beaded inner circle. A circumferential Latin legend runs around the portrait, identifying the ruler as Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria. The portrait treatment is consistent with the baroque engraving tradition of the period, combining naturalistic facial modeling with formal heraldic dress. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wolfgang William converted to Catholicism in 1613 — a calculated move to secure his claim to the Jülich-Kleve-Berg succession after the death of the last duke left the territories contested between Protestant and Catholic claimants. The conversion shocked the Reformed establishment and aligned Palatinate-Neuburg firmly with the Habsburgs and the Bavarian Wittelsbachs, a pivot that reshaped confessional politics on the Rhine for decades.
These thalers were struck at the height of the Thirty Years' War, when military financing demands were reshaping mint output across the Empire. Dav. 7167 is among the more localized issues of the period, produced in relatively modest quantities compared to the major Imperial mints.
