1 Thaler Konventionstaler

Regensburg's status as a free imperial city — and, crucially, as the permanent seat of the Reichstag from 1663 onward — gave its mint an outsized political significance relative to the city's modest size. The Konventionstaler standard itself had been agreed between Bavaria and Austria in 1753, and smaller issuing authorities like Regensburg adopted it partly as a matter of commercial necessity: coins struck to a different foot simply wouldn't circulate in the surrounding territories.

The city's minting activity in the 1770s was infrequent, which makes dated examples from this decade genuinely scarce. Beckenbach's reference documents only a handful of die combinations for this period.
