| Additional information |
Jägerndorf passed to the Hohenzollern branch of Brandenburg in 1523, and George Frederick I — Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach — administered the duchy from 1543 until his death in 1603. By 1600, the political pressure on Silesian Protestant lords from Vienna was already building, a tension that would explode after the duchy was confiscated from his Hohenzollern successor in 1621 following the Battle of White Mountain. This double thaler was struck just three years before that succession became a flashpoint.
