| Additional information |
Regensburg's status as a Free Imperial City gave it the right to strike its own coinage, a privilege it exercised with remarkable persistence well into the eighteenth century despite the city's dwindling political weight within the Holy Roman Empire. By 1754, the Perpetual Imperial Diet had been sitting in Regensburg for nearly a century, making the city constitutionally significant but economically stagnant — its coinage reflected a municipality minting largely out of tradition rather than commercial necessity.
