Note
The reverse side of the thaler was struck with a die intended for the minting of 10 Ducats. The breastplate of the eagle bears the Austrian-Burgundian emblem instead of the Czech lion. The same reverse die was used, for example, for the 10 Ducats from the Auction Numismatica Ars Classica 2005/28 #60. Slight double strike.
