STRASSBURG (BISHOPRIC): AR 80 kreuzer (28.91g), 159Z, Mailliet-70.2, Korchnak-561, uniface Siege klippe issue (33mm), three-fold shield of Johann Georg between "15" and "9Z" and above "80", VF, ex Joe Sedillot Collection. According to Korchnak, when the new Protestant majority installed one of their own as bishop, the Catholics laid siege to Strassburg (Strasbourg). After a period of fighting, the siege was lifted when King Henri IV of France (being a recent Protestant convert himself) intervened. These coins were made from the silver services of wealthier citizens.
