| Additional information |
Jobst Edmund von Brabeck ruled Hildesheim from 1688 until his death in 1702, a tenure marked by his determined efforts to restore Catholic institutional authority in a diocese that had spent decades contested between Protestant and Catholic interests following the Thirty Years' War. The small-denomination thaler fractions issued under his episcopate were practical instruments of regional commerce rather than prestige strikes, circulating alongside coinage from neighboring secular territories in Lower Saxony.
The Mehl reference places this piece within a tightly documented sub-series for the type.
