Comments

In 1693, when the second reformation took place, the Strasbourg mint became a royal workshop, leased to an officer-director according to the French model. The Cour des Monnaies, responsible for registering royal edicts and verifying the quality of minting, was also in charge of adjudicating leases. A proportion of coins minted during an issue were "boxed" and sent to the Mint for verification. Coins issued from 1682 onwards (XXX sols and divisionnaires) were first reformed, then the workshop, with its own different BB, struck royal coins.
