| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field displays the large fraction numeral 2/3 in bold script, denoting two-thirds of a Thaler, occupying nearly the full diameter of the coin. The circular Latin legend CIVIT. IMPERIALIS MVLHVSINAE is inscribed around the periphery, with the date 1737 appearing in the upper arc. The legend reads in medal alignment and is rendered in clean Roman lettering; the reverse die appears to have been struck with an inverted orientation relative to the obverse, as the lower portion of the legend reads upward from the bottom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mühlhausen was one of the few Free Imperial Cities in Thuringia that retained the right to strike silver coinage into the eighteenth century, a privilege it exercised sporadically and jealously. The ⅔ Thaler denomination — equivalent to the Gulden and dominant in northern and central German commerce — was the workhorse of regional trade, yet municipal issues like this were always struck in limited quantities relative to the output of the territorial princes surrounding the city.
By 1737, Mühlhausen's political autonomy was increasingly nominal, hemmed in by Prussian and Saxon interests. The Davenport reference SG#689 places this squarely among the city's final sustained coinage efforts before imperial city status became effectively ceremonial.
