| Aanvullende informatie |
Francis Egon of Fürstenberg was one of the most effective French agents operating within the Holy Roman Empire during the 1660s, working closely with Louis XIV to draw German princes into the French orbit — a role that would eventually earn him a cardinal's hat. His tenure as Bishop of Strasbourg was itself a product of Franco-imperial political maneuvering, and the coinage issued under his authority reflects a diocese caught between two worlds: nominally imperial in monetary form, increasingly French in political reality. Strasbourg would be annexed outright by France in 1681, just fifteen years after this piece was struck.
