| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned, ornately decorated composite coat of arms displayed on a round shield, surmounted by a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Styria. The shield is encircled by the collar and pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece, symbolising Ferdinand's membership in that chivalric order. The Latin legend and date appear around the shield within the square klippe flan, all struck in high relief characteristic of a presentation piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The klippe format — struck square rather than round — was used here almost certainly for presentation purposes, not circulation. Ferdinand II was Duke of Styria from 1596 and had not yet become Holy Roman Emperor; this piece predates his imperial ambitions by two decades, issued during a period when he was already aggressively driving the Counter-Reformation through his hereditary lands, expelling Protestant preachers and closing Lutheran schools throughout Styria in the years immediately surrounding this date.
At over 56 grams, this is a double thaler equivalent in silver content, a format that demanded careful die alignment and a powerful screw press. Davenport EC I 8132 confirms the attribution within the early klippe series.
