Commentary


Ce thaler commémore la convocation des princes allemands par l'empereur François-Joseph le 16 août 1863. Guillaume Ier, roi de Prusse, poussé par Bismarck, refusa d'y participer. L'empereur d'Autriche essayait de maintenir l'unité des provinces allemandes. Le Congrès fut un échec car il se réunissait en pleine crise danoise au moment de la mort de Frédéric VII le 15 novembre 1863 qui devait aboutir à la guerre des Duchés l'année suivante.
