| Additional information |
Ravensburg's 1624 Thaler was struck at a moment when the Thirty Years' War had already destabilized currency production across the Holy Roman Empire, making municipal issues like this one a practical necessity as imperial coinage became unreliable. The "Regimentstaler" designation refers to the city's governing council — the Regiment — rather than any military association, a distinction frequently misread by collectors encountering the type for the first time.
Nau 45 is a well-documented variety within Emil Nau's authoritative catalog of Ravensburg coinage, though the overall series remains genuinely scarce in any grade given the city's modest size and limited minting activity.
