Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1713 Charles Alexander 4 Doppie coin is that it was minted during a time of siege and war, specifically during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) in which the Holy Roman Empire, led by Charles VI, fought against Sweden and other European powers. The coin was minted in the city of Landau, which was under siege by Swedish forces at the time, and its production was likely a response to the need for currency during this period of conflict. Despite the challenges of minting coins during a siege, the 4 Doppie coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
