Additional information

Strasbourg operated with considerable monetary autonomy during this period, issuing small billon coinage under imperial privilege while simultaneously navigating complex political pressures from both the Habsburgs and the free city factions within its own walls. The city's mint was active through a stretch of municipal turbulence that included the aftermath of the 1349 Jewish massacres and the slow consolidation of guild power into civic governance.
