| Beschrijving voorzijde | Displayed Imperial eagle with spread wings, surmounted by a small crown above the head, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle. The eagle is rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of mid-16th century German municipal coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle between the beaded inner circle and the coin's rim, reading NVMVS*REIP*FRANCOFORDIANÆ, identifying the coin as currency of the Republic of Frankfurt. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt struck this thaler just two years after the city submitted — reluctantly — to Charles V following the Schmalkaldic War. The emperor had dissolved the Schmalkaldic League at Mühlberg in 1547, and Frankfurt, a Protestant stronghold, faced punishing terms. The city's right to mint was one of the few Imperial privileges it retained intact through the settlement, and issues from this precise moment carry the political weight of a municipality treading carefully between Lutheran sympathies and Habsburg authority.
The Dav GT I#9182 attribution places this within the early Frankfurt thaler sequence, where die workmanship varied considerably between engravers.
