Comments

This design was first made at Hall for this coin type: N# 94057 Photo (Silver Thaler); the reverse was then changed for the design shown on that page: N# 486039 Photo (still Silver Thaler). The same dies were then used to mint this 8 Ducats coin.

This design was used later by other emperors.
