| Additional information |
Regensburg's status as the permanent seat of the Reichstag from 1663 onward — the so-called Immerwährender Reichstag — meant the city hosted a continuous diplomatic assembly for over a century, drawing delegates, staff, and merchants whose small daily transactions sustained demand for exactly this denomination. The right to strike silver coinage was fiercely guarded by the city council as a mark of imperial immediacy, distinguishing free cities from territorial subjects.
KM#184 spans a production window of nearly three decades, suggesting steady if unspectacular output from the city mint rather than emergency or commemorative striking.
