<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 96152, member: 39&quot;]Strasbourg is the &quot;capital&quot; of Alsace, not Alsace-Lorraine. (A. and L. are two different French regions.) But the point here is, you will always find people who would prefer to see coins (of &quot;entities&quot; that do not exist as such any more) listed under the name of the country that they now belong to - while others rather see them listed according to their historical context.</p><p><br /></p><p>To pick a modern example, I find it somewhat odd that the SCWC (I have the 2004 ed.) lists the 20c Danzig coins as part of the Poland entry ... while all inscriptions on the coins are in German. Since the city is Polish, it does make sense, of course. But as it was a &quot;free city&quot; when these coins were issued, it should actually have its own entry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and some of the t(h)aler coins shown here are just gorgeous! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
