| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand II ruled Tyrol as an archduke from 1564 until his death in 1595, administering Upper Alsace as part of his Anterior Austrian territories. The two-thaler denomination was essentially a prestige emission — struck in limited quantities for presentation and trade rather than everyday exchange — which explains why survivors so often show relatively little wear despite their age. Ferdinand was an obsessive collector; his Kunstkammer at Ambras Castle was among the most celebrated in Europe, and coins struck under his authority were sometimes produced with that curatorial audience in mind.
