| Beschrijving voorzijde | Conjoined busts of Emperor Ferdinand II and his second wife, Eleonora of Mantua, facing right, arranged in portrait style within a double concentric legend. The inner and outer legends are separated by a decorative band and divided at the base by a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Carinthia (Kärnten). The composition reflects the commemorative nature of the issue, celebrating the imperial wedding with formal dynastic imagery typical of early 17th-century Habsburg medallic art. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck to commemorate the marriage of Ferdinand II to Eleonora Gonzaga in 1622, this double thaler was produced at the St. Veit mint in Carinthia — one of the oldest minting operations in Habsburg territory. Ferdinand had already weathered the opening catastrophe of the Thirty Years' War, including the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, and this wedding issue was partly a political statement of dynastic continuity at a moment when Bohemian resistance had just been crushed.
Herinek 1714 is a recognized presentation-class piece. Surviving examples in problem-free condition are scarce; most known specimens show cabinet friction consistent with early collection rather than circulation.
