A large 17th century German silver-gilt coin tankard

Jakob Haase, Danzig (Gdansk Poland) circa 1745
Tall cylindrical form, with hinged shallow-domed cover inset with a German 'Peace of Dresden' Silver Medal dated 25 December 1745, enclosed by embossed auricular style scrolls, a bifurcated thumbpiece and moulded handle, the body inset with various silver thalers dated 1566 to 1640 from Poland, Brunswick, Saxony, Pomerania, Saxe-Altenburg, Saxe-Weimar, Brandenburg, Metz, Transylvania, Saxe-Gotha, Gluckstadt and Elbing, surrounded by flat-chased foliage against a matted ground, atop a spreading domed foot decorated with repeating lobate scrolls, and inset centrally to the base a Rudolph II, House of Habsburg thaler from 1590, featuring three Emperors - Maximilian I, Karl V and Ferdinand I, height 23.5cm, diameter 16cm, weight 64.5oz.

Footnotes

The commemorative silver medal inset to the cover celebrates two events; the Prussians victory over the Royal Saxon Army and the Imperial Army of the Holy Roman Emperor at the 'Battle of Kesselsdorf' fought on 15 December 1745, and the 'Peace of Dresden' (otherwise known as the 'Treaty of Dresden') enacted on 25 December 1745. This Peace Treaty was signed at the Saxon capital of Dresden between Austria, Saxony and Prussia, concluding the Second Silesian War. Under the terms of the 'Treaty of Dresden', Austria was forced to adhere to the terms of the earlier 'Treaty of Breslau', ceding Silesia to Prussia. Silesia's flourishing mining and textile industries had made it the richest of all the Habsburgs' Austrian provinces, and it was chiefly its wealth that tempted Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia to wrestle Silesia from the Habsburg heiress Maria Teresa, in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48). In total there were three Silesian Wars fought between Frederick the Great's Prussia and Maria Theresa's Austria, all three of which ended in Prussian control of Silesia.
