| Additional information |
Hagenau — today Haguenau in Alsace — held the status of a Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire, granting it the right to strike its own coinage. The dicken was a large-format silver denomination common to Swiss and southwestern German monetary practice, and Hagenau's issues from this period reflect the city's precarious position: Alsace would be drawn into the Thirty Years' War within four years of this striking, and French pressure on the region intensified steadily through the following decades until Louis XIV effectively absorbed the city in 1678.
