| Additional information |
Augsburg's civic coinage of the early eighteenth century was produced under the authority of the Free Imperial City, which jealously guarded its minting rights against repeated encroachments by the Habsburgs. The 1725 date places this piece squarely in the aftermath of the Great Northern War, when silver flows through southern German trading networks were still recovering from wartime disruption.
KM#136 is among the less frequently encountered fractional thalers from this series — Augsburg's fractional output in this period was modest relative to its full thaler production, driven more by local commercial demand than export trade.
