| Additional information |
Pattern strikes in silver from Free Imperial Cities like Regensburg were typically produced for presentation to civic officials or as Probe pieces submitted alongside bids from competing die-cutters. Regensburg's mint was active throughout the mid-eighteenth century largely because the city hosted the Immerwährender Reichstag — the perpetual Imperial Diet that sat there continuously from 1663 until Napoleon dissolved it in 1806, giving the city both the political prestige and the practical need to maintain a functioning mint operation.
