| Additional information |
Frankfurt's status as a Free Imperial City gave its mint the right to strike full-weight Thaler coinage under Imperial standards, but the half-Thaler occupied an awkward commercial niche — too valuable for everyday market transactions, too light for the long-distance trade settlements that made full Thalers indispensable. Production across this five-year window was almost certainly tied to municipal cash-flow demands rather than any sustained monetary policy, a pattern common among city-state mints of the period that lacked the volume of princely operations. JuF#286 is the Juncker-Faß reference, the standard attribution for Frankfurt civic coinage.
