Commentary
Pour le second siège de Landau en 1713, assiégée par les Français, les Wurtembergeois utilisèrent la vaisselle d'or et d'argent du duc Charles-Alexandre, commandant des troupes, pour fabriquer des monnaies de nécessité. Les lettres CAHHW signifient Carl Alexander Herzog zu Wurttemberg = Charles Alexandre duc de Wurtemberg. Les lettres I.C.V. sont les initiales d'un graveur inconnu.
Historical background
GERMANY - CITY OF LANDAU - CHARLES-ALEXANDER OF WURTTEMBERG
(1713)
Landau had been occupied by the French at the start of the Dutch War in 1672. The town is located north of Wissembourg, currently in Germany. Louis de Bade came to lay siege to the city on July 10, 1702 with Joseph of Austria, the future Joseph I (1705-1711) and the city fell on September 10, 1702 without being rescued. It will be taken over by Vauban in 1703, but lost again in 1704. In 1713, the city is held by the Duke of Wurttemberg, Charles-Alexandre, who will have to melt his dishes during the siege which begins on June 22, 1713. The city falls to the French hands of Marshal de Bezons on August 20, 1713.
