| Aversbeschreibung | Central view of the Worms lighthouse (the so-called 'Warttturm') rising prominently from a seascape, flanked by ships and fortifications on either side, with rays of light or flames issuing from the tower's summit. Waves are depicted in the lower field, and the city arms of Worms appear on a shield at the bottom center within a cartouche. The circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, divided at the base by the shield. |

Worms issued this thaler in 1617 to mark exactly one hundred years since Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses — an act the city had particular claim to commemorate, having hosted the 1521 Imperial Diet where Luther refused to recant before Charles V. The centenary was celebrated across Protestant Germany with a wave of medal and coin issues, but Worms, as the site of Luther's most defiant stand, carried unusual historical weight in doing so.
Production was a civic statement as much as a monetary one. By 1617 Worms retained only a shadow of its medieval imperial importance, and the issue reflects a city asserting Protestant identity at a moment of mounting confessional tension, just one year before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War.
