| Additional information |
Regensburg's status as a Free Imperial City made it one of the few urban mints still producing full thalers in the mid-eighteenth century, a right jealously defended against encroachment by surrounding Bavarian territory. The city hosted the Immerwährender Reichstag — the Perpetual Diet of the Holy Roman Empire — continuously from 1663 until Napoleon dissolved it in 1806, and coins of this period carry the implicit weight of that political peculiarity: a city perpetually in session, perpetually sovereign, perpetually minting.
KM#371 was struck to the Conventions-Münzfuss standard established by the Austro-Bavarian convention of 1753, just one year prior.
