| Aanvullende informatie |
Besançon, though technically a Free Imperial City under Habsburg suzerainty, had long operated with a striking degree of monetary autonomy. The city's thalers were "immobilized" in the name of Charles V — who had died in 1558 — as a deliberate legal fiction, allowing Besançon to continue minting without acknowledging the authority of successive emperors over its coinage. This arrangement suited both parties well enough that it persisted for over a century after Charles's death.
The city lost this privilege permanently in 1674 when Louis XIV seized Besançon during the Franco-Comtois War, formally annexing it to France the following year by the Treaty of Nijmegen in 1678.
