my guess is that the Tormarke toll for passing through a towns gate was dated 1609 but could have been minted like this 100 years later.
interesting find.

People often forget that in these times it was incredibly difficult and expensive to travel from one place to another.
Especially in Germany of the time with the many states and cities you would have to pay these passage tolls at many crossings, bridges etc.
