| Additional information |
Dortmund's civic coinage of this period reflects the city's stubborn insistence on monetary independence as a Free Imperial City — a status it defended aggressively against the ambitions of Brandenburg and later Prussia throughout the seventeenth century. The Thirty Years' War had ended in 1648, but its economic disruption persisted well into the following decade, and small silver issues like this schilling circulated in a regional economy still struggling to stabilize after decades of troop movements, requisitions, and currency debasement by occupying forces.
KM#35 spans a fifteen-year production window, suggesting continuous demand rather than a single emergency issue.
