Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Rohan-Guéménée family, which was the ruling family of the bishopric at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "LUD. CONST. VON ROHAN GUEMENEE" and is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
