1 Thaler

Nuremberg's 1763 Thaler was struck in the immediate aftermath of the Seven Years' War, a conflict that had placed enormous fiscal strain on the Free Imperial Cities of the Holy Roman Empire. Nuremberg had managed to maintain nominal neutrality but suffered economically from disrupted trade routes and wartime levies. The city's mint output in this period reflects an attempt to reassert commercial credibility.

KM#339 is distinguished from adjacent Nuremberg Thaler types by specific armorial die arrangements particular to the post-war civic recoinage.
