Comment

The city was granted city rights in 1360, but never had the character of an imperial city. Therefore, the mint right it exercised could not be its property, but it minted by order and in the name of the ruler of the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace, using its own coinage under its own coat of arms.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

La ville a obtenu les droits de cité en 1360, mais n'a jamais eu le caractère d'une ville impériale. Par conséquent, le droit de frappe qu'elle exerçait ne pouvait pas être sa propriété, mais elle a frappé monnaie par ordre et au nom du souverain du Landgraviat de Haute-Alsace, en utilisant sa monnaie sous ses propres armoiries.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier or Rappen ND (1425-1450) from City of Thann (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.26 g is that it was used as a form of currency in the French States during the 15th century. It was a small silver coin that was widely used for everyday transactions, and its design featured the image of a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and was a symbol of the power and influence of the French monarchy.
