Silver thaler dated 1622 struck under Emperor Ferdinand II, featuring a right-facing imperial portrait and the double-headed eagle with crowned arms. The reverse shows the “K-B” mintmark commonly associated with Kremnitz/Kremnica issues of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary (attribution unconfirmed without full measurements). An appealing early-17th-century large silver coin from the Thirty Years’ War period, offered ungraded.
Struck in silver on a large thaler module using hand-prepared dies and screw-press/hammer-era techniques typical for the 1620s. Comparable documented examples for the 1622 K-B thaler are around 44–45 mm and ~28 g
