| Additional information |
Jobst Edmund of Brabeck became Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim in 1688, inheriting a diocese still recovering from decades of disruption following the Hildesheim Stiftsfehde's long territorial fallout and the pressures of the Thirty Years' War. His episcopate coincided with the broader reorganization of coinage in the Lower Saxon Circle, where fractional thalers served the practical demands of a region with chronic small-denomination shortages. The 1⁄12 thaler denomination — equivalent to 2 groschen — was among the workhorse fractions of late 17th-century north German ecclesiastical minting.
