3 Kreuzers - Albrecht von Wallenstein

Wallenstein acquired the Duchy of Friedland in 1623 as direct reward for his loyalty to the Habsburgs during the early Thirty Years' War, and with it came the right to mint coin — a privilege he exercised aggressively. His mints at Jičín and Gitschin produced issues across multiple denominations to fund his private army, which at its peak numbered over 100,000 men financed almost entirely through his own estates and currency manipulation.

The coinage rights were extinguished with his assassination at Eger in February 1634, making the entire Friedland series a tight five-year window.
