Coinpictures planted the idea in his post this evening, so I am running with it. How about seeing some posts of coins with city view themes? German/Austrian/Swiss....17th/18th/19th/20th century......crowns/minors.....you decide. I am curious to see how many posts we might have. I'll start.
1756 Regensberg taler
Note: updated to replace broken links. Lucky to purchase this one from Cacheman not long after this original thread. Still have it today - great piece.

Warning: old thread!
I saw a great presentation of Roman Provincials tonight at Fairfax Coin Club. The presenter specializes in architectural themed coins and several of these depicted city views. So I thought I would revive this thread with a different view of Basel and encourage any Ancients collectors to post their city views, too.
Here are a few I have on hand from the collection. I’m naturally drawn to the theme as attractive as these talers can come.
The second is an aerial view of the city of Vienna between sun and moon.
TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
Another Augsburg. I have to say this is a well made coin (especially compared to other countries at the time).
And then a “bell taler” with city view of Wolfenbuttel.

What a surprise seeing a thread from myself 13 years ago.....kind of strange. Some very nice hardware added in the recent updates! Who doesn't like a dragon taler after watching Game of Thrones this season?
1648 Munster
1722 Zurich
1761 Passau
1781 Eichstatt

Long gone, but this was the image that was originally posted to kick off this thread. One of the first talers I ever purchased.
1768 Nurnberg
@worldcoinguy - I got married just outside Passau (my wife is German). Like your Passau taler with the three rivers coming together.
It still looks that way - and the waters of the rivers have different colors!

Not the full city, but a good view of the Landsberg Mission...
