| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland, facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and draped pauldron, depicted in a restrained early Baroque style. The portrait is set within a plain inner circle, with the bust occupying the central field. The surrounding circumferential legend reads ALBERTVS . DG (*) DUX . FRIDLAN *, divided by small ornamental stops, with the issuer's title rendered in Latin abbreviation. The overall engraving is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century, with some softness in detail consistent with the striking technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wallenstein received the Duchy of Friedland from Emperor Ferdinand II as direct payment for his military services — a feudal transaction that gave him sovereign minting rights he exercised aggressively between 1627 and 1628. His mint at Gitschin operated under considerable pressure, supplying coin to fund an army that at its peak numbered over 100,000 men, largely self-financed through Wallenstein's own territorial revenues and war contributions extracted from occupied lands.
The minting privilege was extinguished when Ferdinand had Wallenstein assassinated at Eger in February 1634, making the entire Friedland coinage a product of fewer than seven years of existence.
