Beschrijving voorzijde The two-fold civic arms of Thann displayed on a quartered shield within a plain inner circle, the dexter half bearing a horizontal bar and the sinister half charged with a fir tree or branch in relief; the whole enclosed by a raised beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The shield is rendered in the flat, unadorned style typical of late medieval Alsatian bracteate-related coinage. No legend or inscription is present in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

Thann's civic coinage authority derived from imperial grants made to the town largely because of its strategic position in Upper Alsace near the Vosges passes — a location that made reliable small change a practical necessity for market traffic rather than a prestige exercise. The denier series to which this piece belongs was struck across a roughly quarter-century window during which Thann remained under Habsburgian influence, caught between the ambitions of the Burgundian dukes pressing eastward and the fractious politics of the Alsatian Décapole.

At 0.26g, these were the workhorse fractions of local commerce — and survival in any condition is modest.
