Additional information

Halberstadt's bishopric coinage of this period operated under persistent tension between the cathedral chapter and the increasingly aggressive Brandenburg-Prussia territorial ambitions that would eventually absorb the see entirely in 1648. The 1614–1615 dating spans two administrative years, suggesting a bridging issue tied to a specific chapter decision rather than a routine annual striking — small episcopal mints rarely ran continuous multi-year runs without a deliberate authorization.
