| Additional information |
Hagenau occupied an awkward position in the late seventeenth century — nominally a free imperial city within Alsace, but effectively absorbed into French administrative control following the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. These coins were struck during the final years the city retained any meaningful right of coinage, a privilege the French crown systematically dismantled across Alsatian municipalities through the 1670s. The E&L reference places this squarely within that contested transitional window.
