1 Thaler

Halberstadt's civic coinage of this period occupies an awkward historical position: the city had been formally secularized and awarded to Brandenburg under the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, yet the transition of effective control dragged on for years, leaving the municipal authority issuing coins under ambiguous jurisdiction. This thaler dates to a moment when Brandenburg-Prussia was consolidating its new western territories but had not yet fully absorbed local minting prerogatives.

The Dav CCT reference places this within the Corpus der deutschen Taler series for City issues — a classification that distinguishes it from the concurrent episcopal coinage of the same city, which had its own separate sequence.
