Comment
Coin of the devaluation kipper period. Silver content probably decreased with time.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Duplex coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace is that it was minted during the reign of Leopold V, who was the son of Emperor Ferdinand II and was known for his strong support of the Catholic Church and his efforts to combat Protestantism.
