Thann, a small Alsatian city under Habsburg suzerainty, struck this piece in 1511 as part of the broader wave of large-format silver coinage that followed the introduction of the Guldengroschen in the 1480s. The city held minting rights through its status as an imperial free town, though its output was never prolific — surviving pieces from Thann are rare precisely because production volumes were low and the coins circulated hard in the Rhine trade networks.
The Dav GT I listing places this among the earliest double thalers documented from Alsatian civic mints.
