Quote: Strasbourg became a French city in 1681, after the conquest of Alsace by Louis XIV. This coin was one of the first issues of the Strasbourg mint after its capture. Interesting that there wasn't yet any pressure to conform. Design elements like the fleur de lis and the GLORIA legend are traditional to Strasbourg. Interesting coin!

Nice last pair of coins! I was intrigued by that figure atop the Magdeburg city gates. On other contemporary coins this figure is often a "guardian angel" or patron saint. Here (according to Numista) it is a maiden holding a laurel wreath. I wonder why.

Here is a 1/24th Thaler from the German City State of Saxony dated AD 1680:   @tdz, interesting question about @pepactonuis' coin. I'll be interested to see what he says as I don't know the answer.

almost forgot these: two jetons that celebrate the wedding of Charles II of Spain to Marie Louise d'Orleans, niece of king Louis XIV of France (the wedding took place in 1679, in order to get better political ties between a weakening Spanish empire and a rapidly expanding French empire Dugn.4430 (made in Antwerp) shows the young husband and wife, very much in love Dugn.4432 (made in Brussels) shows again the coat of arms of J. Heymans; the reverse shows the goddess Juno joining Spain and France a clever political move of Louis XIV
