Comment
Slg. Schneider 1132; Slg. Voltz 777Interesting fact
The Dicken 1499 coin from the City of Thann (French States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is believed to have been minted in the late 15th century, during the reign of King Charles VIII of France. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, with the inscription "CIVITAS THANN" (City of Thann) surrounding the cross. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
