Berghaus 217; Dav. 5224. This representative coinage is related to the war against the Turks that broke out again at the same year when the Turkish troops even stood in front of Vienna, but were defeated by the imperial army on September 12th on Kahlenberg. The inside of the two front inscriptions "DOMINE • CONSERVA • NOS • IN • PACE" (= Lord, keep us in peace) emphasizes the city's desire for peace. Diese repräsentative Prägung steht in Zusammenhang mit dem gleichzeitig wieder ausbrechenden Krieg gegen die Türken. Im Prägejahr unseres Stückes standen die türkischen Truppen sogar vor Wien, wurden aber vom kaiserlichen Heer am 12. September am Kahlenberg geschlagen. Die innere der beiden Vorderseitenumschriften "DOMINE • CONSERVA • NOS • IN • PACE (= Herr, bewahre uns in Frieden) betont den Friedenswunsch der Stadt.
