| Additional information |
Struck to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen — the series of treaties concluded between 1678 and 1679 ending the Franco-Dutch War — this Hamburg issue appeared while Louis XIV was consolidating territorial gains that alarmed the German states directly. Hamburg, as a nominally independent city-state navigating pressure from both the Dutch Republic and the Danish crown throughout the conflict, had particular interest in marking the settlement. The Gaedechens reference places this among a small cluster of Hamburg peace thalers that were produced as much for diplomatic display as for circulation.
