Interesting fact

The 1 Vierer coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis XIII, who was a Catholic monarch, but the city of Strasbourg was a Protestant stronghold. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of religious tension and political change.
