Comment
One of the last monetary issues of the city still linked to the Holy Empire. Its mint stopped making coins in 1673, when it was incorporated into the kingdom of France.Interesting fact
The Batzen coin from the City of Colmar (French States) made of Silver weighing 2.70g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency in the 17th century, specifically between 1666 and 1669. It was a standard circulation coin during that time and was widely used in trade and commerce. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in existence today, and collectors highly value them.
