Commentary

Pour le second siège de Landau en 1713, assiégée par les Français, les Wurtembergeois utilisèrent la vaisselle d'or et d'argent du duc Charles-Alexandre, commandant des troupes, pour fabriquer des monnaies de nécessité. Les lettres CAHHW signifient Carl Alexander Herzog zu Wurttemberg = Charles Alexandre duc de Wurtemberg. Les lettres I.C.V. sont les initiales d'un graveur inconnu.
For the second siege of Landau in 1713, when it was besieged by the French, the people of Württemberg used the gold and silver plate of Duke Charles Alexander, commander of the troops, to make emergency coins. The letters CAHHW stand for Carl Alexander Herzog zu Wurttemberg = Charles Alexander Duke of Württemberg. The letters ICV are the initials of an unknown engraver.
