ominus1 Posted September 26, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2023 i guess this coin is about it for Habsburg HRE's..but there''s more coins of the Habsburgs and further up the line, they loose the name Habsburg...in my research, after purchasing the coin, i find the that the Habsburgs name disappears into two (maybe more) other groups of rulers and Eberhards are one!.. it's almost mind boggling but what a thrill!..last nite i followed the line all the way back to the Franks in the 6th century (and there it gets iffy)..i shall continue to get coins of the family's progenitors until have have them all or i expire...^^ POST AWAY PEEPS!
