| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein facing slightly right, depicted in armour with a prominent lace collar and a chain of office across the chest, all within a beaded inner circle. The legend encircling the effigy reads ALBERTVS D G DUX FRIDLAN in Latin capitals, distributed around the field. The portrait is rendered in the robust hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German-Bohemian ducats, with the duke's characteristic goatee beard and moustache rendered in fine relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wallenstein received the Duchy of Friedland in 1624 as direct payment from Ferdinand II for his financial and military services — effectively a feudal reward for bankrolling Imperial armies out of his own fortune. His right to strike coinage was a deliberate assertion of that newly granted sovereignty, and the Friedland mint operated for only a narrow window before his first dismissal by the Emperor in 1630. The entire ducal coinage series is consequently compressed into roughly six years.
He was assassinated at Eger in February 1634 on Ferdinand's orders, ending any prospect of resumed minting.
