| Additional information |
Ferdinand II of Tyrol died in 1595, yet the Hall mint continued striking thalers in his name for nearly a decade after his death — a practice driven by the commercial familiarity his coinage had earned across Alpine trade networks. Merchants trusted the type; the new count, Maximilian III, saw no reason to disrupt that confidence immediately.
The posthumous issues of 1601–1604 are distinguishable from lifetime strikes by subtle die characteristics documented in Moser-Tursky, and the double-thaler format was always a prestige denomination rather than everyday commerce — produced in limited quantities for gifts, payments of honor, and large mercantile settlements.
