| Additional information |
Dortmund occupied an awkward political position in the mid-eighteenth century — a nominally free imperial city whose coining rights were perpetually contested and whose actual output of circulating currency was minimal. This 1752 pattern was never authorized for production, and the silver strike almost certainly served as a presentation or approval piece rather than a circulation proposal anyone seriously intended to pursue.
Bergh 248 is the standard reference for Dortmund's highly limited pattern material. Surviving examples are essentially institutional pieces.
