| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's triple thaler of 1626 falls squarely in the middle of the Thirty Years' War, during which the city's status as an independent imperial free city was under sustained political pressure. Ferdinand II had reimposed Catholicism across Habsburg territories via the Edict of Restitution just three years away from being issued — the city, confessionally mixed and commercially dependent on imperial goodwill, walked a careful line. Large multiple thalers of this type functioned primarily as presentation pieces and diplomatic gifts rather than circulating currency.
At over 86 grams, production of these pieces demanded exceptionally prepared planchets. Augsburg's mint had a strong reputation for large-format silver, and KM#43 is documented in only a handful of surviving examples.
