Commentary


Le monnayage de Jean-René fut très diversifié, aussi bien dans les types que dans les dénominations. Il existe de nombreuses variétés de testons : il en existe sans millésime, comme cet exemplaire, et d’autres aux millésimes 1601, 1608-1610, 1613 ou 1621.

Historical background


ALSACE - COUNTY OF HANAU-LICHTENBERG - JOHANN-REINHARD I

(1599-1625)

The right to mint coins was granted to the Counts of Hanau in 1368, but the first coins were not minted until 1587 in the workshop of Wœrth-sur-Sauer. Jean René opened a second mint in Babenhausen. These two workshops were destroyed in 1632.
