Broad thaler
The numismatic designation wide thaler refers to thalers whose diameter is larger than the normal thaler type for the same coin weight.
Explanation
The diameter of the usual thalers minted in the imperial coin foot is around 40 to 44 mm. The increased minting surface of the thaler resulted in a reduction in the thickness of the coin , as the coin base was not changed. The larger flute enables the coin image and the coin inscription to be placed more comfortably on the taler and to expand the display options.
Multiple thalers, which received a correspondingly larger diameter with a multiple thaler weight, also count among the wide thalers. They are also called Schautaler or Löser (Braunschweiger Löser).
Unlike the enlarged Talern be Taler, whose diameters are smaller for the same coin weight than normal Taler type, Dick Thaler called or large coin.
