Comment
This is the only type of thaler minted for this imperial city, thanks to the order granted by Charles V in 1532.It lost this status and was unable to avoid becoming part of Bavaria in 1607.
There are several workshop master monograms and legend variants.
Ex: legend variants

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Donauwörth is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Mary, on the obverse (front side), which was a common practice in the German States during that time period.
