| Additional information |
The Dietrichstein were a Moravian noble family who held comital minting rights as part of the broader fragmentation of coining authority across the Habsburg lands in the mid-seventeenth century. This small silver issue dates to the years immediately following the Peace of Westphalia, when local lords across the empire were still asserting whatever privileges they could before imperial monetary reform gradually tightened control over subsidiary coinages. Sigismund Ludwig held the county only briefly, which constrains the production window tightly to these two years.
