| Additional information |
Joachimsthal — the Bohemian mining town whose silver output was so vast that its coins gave the world the word "dollar" (via Joachimsthaler, contracted to thaler) — was still near its production peak in the 1560s. Maximilian II, elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1564, ruled Bohemia simultaneously, and coinage from this mint during his reign reflects the administrative tensions between imperial authority and the powerful Bohemian estates who controlled the mines.
MB#169 is not among the more frequently documented varieties from this reign; the Joachimsthal issues of the 1560s remain underrepresented in major reference works relative to their historical importance.
