Comment
Dollinger 9, Slg. Voltz 530Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden - Franz Egon von Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg 1668 coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to signify the coin's issuance under the authority of Franz Egon von Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg, the Bishop of Strasbourg at the time. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Bishopric of Strasbourg during the same period.
