| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of the House of Fürstenberg, surmounted by a displayed eagle. The episcopal titles of Franz Egon von Fürstenberg appear in a circular legend surrounding the central device, rendered in Latin. The overall composition is characteristic of late seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage, with a beaded inner border separating the central arms from the surrounding inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Franz Egon von Fürstenberg's tenure as Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg was inseparable from French political ambition — he was effectively a client of Louis XIV, whose annexation of Strasbourg in 1681 rendered the bishopric's independent coinage redundant almost immediately. This kreuzer belongs to the final decade of ecclesiastical minting there before French municipal authority absorbed the city entirely.
At 0.38 g, these were struck at the lower boundary of practical silver coinage, and surviving examples are frequently found clipped or heavily worn from small-transaction use in Alsatian markets.
