| Additional information |
Augsburg's status as a Free Imperial City gave it minting rights exercised jealously, and by 1694 the city was navigating the financial strain of the Nine Years' War — a conflict draining coin from every corner of the Empire. Augsburg's thalers from this decade circulated well beyond the city walls, accepted widely on the strength of the city's commercial reputation built through centuries of Fugger-era banking dominance.
Davenport 5050 is a recognized type, though die marriages for Augsburg thalers of this period vary more than the reference numbers suggest.
