| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria and Count of Tyrol, died in 1595. These posthumous issues, struck between 1601 and 1604, were produced under his successor Maximilian III — likely to clear existing die stock or satisfy ongoing demand for large-format silver from the Hall mint. Posthumous portrait thalers of this kind were not unusual in the Habsburg hereditary lands, but double-thaler posthumous issues are considerably scarcer.
Hall in Tirol remained one of the most technically capable mints in the Empire at this date, having pioneered roller-press coinage decades earlier under Ferdinand's own patronage.
