| Additional information |
This piece reproduces the 100 Ducat coin struck for Emperor Ferdinand II during the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that would consume Central Europe for three decades and reshape the continent's confessional and political order. The original 1621 issue was a presentation piece, not a trade coin; multi-ducat strikings of this scale were produced as diplomatic gifts and ceremonial objects for the imperial court, never intended to pass through ordinary hands.
At 0.311 g, this modern restrike contains precisely 1/100th the gold of the denomination it commemorates.
