Son of Maximilian I, b. 1503. Ferdinand's titles appear as King of Rome (1531), Hungary (1527), Bohemia (1526), Dalmatia and Croatia, Prince of Spain, Archduke of Austria and Duke of Burgundy, but not 'Emperor', which he became in 1558, on the abdication of his brother, Charles V. By then, an effigy of Ferdinand as an older, bearded man was in use on dated coins of this type.
