背面描述	Crowned quartered coat of arms of the Trautson family displayed at centre, elaborately ornamented with decorative mantling and supported by a double-headed imperial eagle displayed above the shield. The date 1618 is divided to either side of the central achievement, with 16 to the left and 18 to the right. A beaded inner circle frames the heraldic composition, while the Latin legend referencing Falkenstein and the Order of the Golden Fleece runs around the periphery: IN FALKERSTEIN AVREI VELL EQVES.

附加信息	The Trautson family held their Tyrolean lordships under imperial favor, and Paul Sixtus I was among the most politically connected of the line — his family had served the Habsburgs closely enough to receive the right to strike their own coinage, a privilege that was increasingly scrutinized and curtailed across the Holy Roman Empire during the early seventeenth century. This 2 Thaler was issued the same year the Defenestration of Prague triggered the opening phase of what would become the Thirty Years' War. Dav EC II#3421 distinguishes this as the second die variety of the type, suggesting at minimum two separate coining sessions for what was already a low-mintage lordship issue.
