| Additional information |
Frankfurt struck these half thalers during the French occupation of the city, which lasted from 1759 to 1763 as a consequence of the Seven Years' War. The city's mint continued operating under occupation, producing coinage in Frankfurt's own name — an unusual circumstance that reflects the complex constitutional position of free imperial cities, which retained nominal sovereignty even when militarily controlled by a foreign power.
The JuF 832a designation distinguishes this from the closely related 832 variety by die differences catalogued by Justus undFatteh.
