Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1759 Ludwig Constantin von Rohan-Guéménée 1/12 Thaler 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 Rohan-Guéménée family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to signify the coin's issuance under the authority of Ludwig Constantin von Rohan-Guéménée, the Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg at the time. This additional detail sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period and adds to its historical significance and collectible value.
