| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly rendered Imperial eagle displayed, facing right, with wings spread and detailed feather work across the breast and wings. The eagle stands atop a globe and holds a sword and orb with chain-like appendages in its talons, symbolizing Imperial sovereignty. A crown surmounts the eagle's head above the inner beaded border. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by ornamental stops, reads IMP CAS FERD II P F GER HVN BOH REX, referencing Emperor Ferdinand II. The design conforms to the standard Imperial eagle type used on Augsburg multiple thalers of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's 1626 double thaler was struck at a precarious moment — the city was formally under Imperial occupation, Maximilian I of Bavaria having garrisoned troops there as the Thirty Years' War ground through its eighth year. The Free City retained nominal minting rights, but the political reality was considerably more fraught. Issues from this period are irregular in both output and surviving numbers, as the city's treasury was under sustained pressure from military contributions levied by the occupying forces.
Forster/Schmelzing 180 distinguishes this from closely related dies of the same period by edge and punch details that casual inspection misses.
