| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Brixen — today Bressanone in South Tyrol — occupied an unusual political position in the early seventeenth century, functioning as a prince-bishopric within the Holy Roman Empire with the right to strike its own coinage. The epithet "the Posthumous" attached to Charles refers to Archduke Charles of Austria, born after his father Ferdinand II of Tyrol had died, which created immediate succession complications that shaped Tyrolean ecclesiastical politics for years.
Five-ducat multiples of this period were not made for commerce. They circulated among courts as presentation pieces and diplomatic gifts, which explains the survival rate in comparatively high condition.
