Two coins I have most closely related are the following. A siege coin from the Swedish invasion of Minden. A commemorative from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg dated 1650 referencing the Peace of Westphalia, the end of the 30 years war.
Beautiful coins @panzerman and @Joshua Lemons . I have some Ducatons from this era. Here is one from the shipwreck of the De-Liefde. 1636 Ducaton was minted during the height of the Thirty Years' War to fund the Spanish military in the Netherlands. Its high silver purity made it a preferred global trade currency, which is why, 75 years after it was struck, it was loaded onto the VOC ship De Liefde. Bound for the East Indies in 1711, the ship struck a reef in the Shetland Islands and sank with only one survivor.
Livonia AV Dukat 1643 Riga Mint Queen Christina of Sweden 1632-54 After her Father was slain at the Battle of Lützen in 1632, Christina was crowned Queen. She tried to pull Sweden out of the War, but Protestant factions were against that. She wisely converted to Roman Catholism in 1654 and abdicated as a result. I love her coinage.
The Thirty Years War was from 1618-1648, so this is the only one I have from that date range. Not from one of the involved countries.
Nice Teutonic Order example my Lord! You know, I would like the "title" Lord, but "Grand Master" is even better! Here is one of mine, from the man "Emperor" in charge of the good guys, Imperial Holy Roman Empire formations, Ferdinand II 1619-37. And, Odonardo Farnese Duke of Piacenza, AV Quadrupla 1626. His Father commanded the Spanish armies in Flanders.
