| Additional information |
Emden's coinage authority in the late seventeenth century was a persistent legal battleground. The city, formally under nominal Habsburg suzerainty but fiercely protective of its minting privileges, issued fractional thalers during this period partly to assert those rights in practice. The 1/3 thaler denomination — the Reichsgulden — had been codified by the Leipzig Coin Convention of 1690, but Emden and other north German mints were already striking to that standard beforehand.
KM#29 is among the less documented of Emden's civic issues, with no surviving mint records establishing a precise mintage figure.
