10 Kreuzers - Ludwig Constantin von Rohan-Guéménée

Ludwig Constantin von Rohan-Guéménée served as Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg from 1756 until his death in 1779, part of a dynasty that dominated the see for much of the eighteenth century — the Rohan family held the bishopric nearly continuously from 1704 to the Revolution. This issue predates by a decade the scandal that would consume his nephew and successor, Louis René Édouard de Rohan, whose involvement in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace in 1785 helped discredit the French aristocracy and accelerate the collapse of the Ancien Régime.
