| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length effigy of Maximilian III standing facing slightly left, clad in full plate armor and enveloped in a flowing mantle, surmounted by a plumed great helm. He grasps a drawn sword in his right hand, while the cross of the Teutonic Order is emblazoned on his cuirass. To the sinister, a great helm rests on the ground; to the dexter, a lion supports a shield bearing the arms of Austria. The entire composition is contained within a beaded inner circle formed by foliate ornament, with the circular Latin legend interrupted at the base by the feet of the figure and the die-engraver's signature mark CO. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximilian III, Archduke of Austria and Master of the Teutonic Order, governed Tyrol from 1602 until his death in 1618 — a relatively quiet administration against the backdrop of mounting Habsburg dynastic tensions. The Hall mint, operating on the Inn River, had been one of the most technically sophisticated striking facilities in Europe since the introduction of roller presses in the 1560s, and by 1614 it was producing large gold multiples with a consistency that few contemporary mints could match.
Eight-ducat pieces of this type were almost certainly struck for presentation rather than commerce. Maximilian died without legitimate heirs, and Tyrol reverted directly to the main Habsburg line.
