Additional information

Historical Context: Dortmund, an Imperial Free City within the Holy Roman Empire, issued this 1/24 Thaler between 1754 and 1758. This period, under Emperor Francis I, was marked by significant Central European tensions, including the Seven Years' War. As a Reichsstadt, Dortmund maintained considerable autonomy, including minting rights
