Support – Historical EV. This coin was struck during the first part of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), which ultimately reduced the population of Central Europe by half, rendered the superannuated Holy Roman Empire politically weak – and incidentally led to the demise of famed Fugger banking family.
