Additional information

Göttingen's civic coinage of this period was issued under the city's jealously guarded minting rights, which the municipality had defended against both ducal Brunswick-Lüneburg pressure and imperial oversight for generations. By 1600, those rights were increasingly precarious — within decades, the Thirty Years' War would effectively end autonomous municipal coinage across much of Lower Saxony.
