| Additional information |
Freiburg im Breisgau operated under Habsburg suzerainty through most of its early modern history, but retained municipal minting rights that it exercised sporadically and jealously. The 1715 issue falls in the years following the War of the Spanish Succession, during which Freiburg had been besieged and occupied by French forces under Villars — taken in 1713 only weeks before the Peace of Utrecht was signed. Local coinage resuming shortly after reflects the city reasserting civic normalcy after occupation.
At under 0.6 grams, survival in any collectible condition is genuinely uncommon. Berstett remains the foundational reference for Breisgau coinage.
