| Additional information |
Joseph I became Holy Roman Emperor in May 1705 following the death of his father Leopold I, and this double thaler from Hall in Tirol was struck in the opening months of his reign. The Hall Mint — operating in the Inn Valley since the late fifteenth century — was one of the Habsburg's most productive silver facilities, fed directly by Tyrolean mountain mining operations. Joseph's reign lasted only six years before his death from smallpox in 1711, cutting short what had been an aggressive military campaign in the War of the Spanish Succession.
Davenport's EC III listing places this among a tight cluster of large-format Austrian issues from 1705, and the Herinek references 117–118 suggest at least two die combinations were used in production that year.
