Comment
2 variants of legend documented in Klemetsch.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Vierer coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace is that it features a unique blend of both Austrian and French influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace, which was a territory that was part of the Austrian States but had strong cultural and historical ties to France. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and political landscape of the region during the early 17th century.
