1 Thaler

Neuss struck thalers under imperial minting rights granted to the city, a privilege fiercely defended against repeated attempts by the Archbishops of Cologne to absorb municipal coinage authority into their own ecclesiastical domain. The issues of 1568–1572 fall within a period when Neuss was also navigating the economic disruptions of the early Dutch Revolt, which strangled Rhine trade routes the city depended on entirely.

Davenport's attribution under the German Talers series places this among a small group of Rhenish civic issues that rarely appear outside regional collections. The Noss corpus remains the definitive reference for Neuss municipal coinage.
