Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg is that it features an image of Ludwig Constantin von Rohan-Guéménée, who was the bishop of Strasbourg from 1747 to 1779. He was a member of the powerful House of Rohan, a French noble family, and his portrait on the coin reflects the influence of the church and the nobility in the region during that time.
