1 Kreuzer

Strasbourg operated as a free imperial city for much of this period, giving its magistrates direct authority over local coinage without routing decisions through a territorial prince. The kreuzer denomination itself emerged in the upper Rhine region in the fourteenth century, taking its name from the cross design standard to the type, and Strasbourg's civic mint was among the earlier municipal operations to adopt it as a workhorse coin for regional trade along the Rhine corridor.

The two-century span of this issue reflects successive municipal reconfirmations of minting rights rather than continuous uninterrupted production.
