| Additional information |
Strasbourg's thaler production across these decades unfolded against the Thirty Years' War, which reduced much of the surrounding Alsatian countryside to ruin while the city itself — nominally Imperial, effectively independent — maintained its mint and its merchant credit networks. The city had long resisted both Habsburg and French pressure, and its coinage circulated accordingly: trusted in the Rhine trade corridor precisely because Strasbourg's commercial reputation outlasted the political chaos around it.
French forces under Turenne occupied the region repeatedly during this span. Strasbourg would not formally pass to France until 1681.
