| Additional information |
Nuremberg's Reichsguldiner production in the mid-seventeenth century falls squarely within the city's recovery from the Thirty Years' War, which had ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 — negotiated partly within Nuremberg itself during the Congress of Nuremberg that followed. The city's minting authority during this window was well-exercised; Nuremberg maintained one of the most active municipal mints in the Holy Roman Empire throughout the century.
Davenport's SG#98 classification places this among the city's larger silver Guldiner-weight pieces, distinguished from the broader Taler series by the Reichsguldiner's specific weight standard tied to the gulden reckoning rather than the Reichstaler convention.
