1 Thaler

Weissenburg (modern Weißenburg in Bavaria) struck thalers under imperial city privilege during one of the most economically catastrophic periods in German history — the Thirty Years' War. The 1623–1632 window spans the worst of the currency debasement crisis known as the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, when dozens of mints across the Empire were striking debased small coin at ruinous rates. A city maintaining full-weight thaler production during this period was making a deliberate statement about creditworthiness, not sentiment.

Weissenburg's output was modest by any measure, which accounts for the rarity of surviving examples today.
