<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1295186, member: 39&quot;]Interesting ... but here it gets tricky. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; You see, the name Fürstenberg may refer to a country (as in the case of Fürstenberg-Stühlingen) but it can also be a family name. In the latter case, the issuing territory can be an entirely different one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin for example is from the Diocese of Paderborn, issued when Dietrich von Fürstenberg was the bishop and rulerthere. (And to make things more complicated, he is from a different, unrelated, Fürstenberg family.) The half mark is from the Diocese of Riga; the city is the capital of Latvia today. And if a lot description says &quot;Slg. XYZ&quot;, that simply means an item, regardless of where it was issued, was part of the XYZ collection. The pieces, especially the Mining Talers, are great though. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
