Comment
Slg. Voltz 734Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler (Peace of Nijmegen) 1679 coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen, a series of treaties signed in 1678-1679 that ended various conflicts in Europe, including the Dutch War and the Franco-Dutch War. The coin's design features an allegorical representation of peace, with a woman holding an olive branch and a shield with the coat of arms of Strasbourg. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the 17th century, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item.
