| Additional information |
Freiburg im Breisgau retained the right to strike its own coinage as a free imperial city under Habsburg suzerainty — an arrangement that grew increasingly awkward as Austrian centralization pressured municipal minting privileges throughout the eighteenth century. By 1738, such civic issues were already an anachronism, and this thaler is among the later products of that jealously maintained prerogative. The city's mint output was never large, and thalers of this date survive in genuinely small numbers.
