1 Thaler

Halberstadt's 1630 thaler falls squarely within the most destructive phase of the Thirty Years' War. The city, a Protestant episcopal see, had been occupied and administratively reorganized under the terms of the 1629 Edict of Restitution — Emperor Ferdinand II's decree demanding the return of all ecclesiastical properties secularized since 1552. That the city managed municipal coinage at all in 1630 reflects the stubborn persistence of civic minting rights even under direct imperial pressure.

Davenport's CCT attribution places this among the documented city issues rather than the concurrent episcopal series, a distinction that matters for provenance.
