| Additional information |
Augsburg's status as a Free Imperial City gave its mint the right to strike full-weight thalers largely independent of Habsburg monetary policy, a privilege jealously maintained through the eighteenth century. The 1745 date falls squarely within the War of the Austrian Succession, a conflict that disrupted silver flows across central Europe and put unusual pressure on city mints to maintain specie circulation when territorial princes were debasing their own issues.
Davenport's attribution under the German Taler series places this among a relatively small run of Augsburg civic thalers from the period — the city's output was never prolific by Electoral standards.
