The Coins of Europe

Joseph von Steebenburg, Bishop in that year, is said to have been made
out of the church plate, and to be the last money struck.
EH, Lorraine, a mint of Thierry, Duke of Lorraine, 984-1024.
Einbeck, or Eimbeck, Hanover, the probable place of issue of a mariengroschen

of an undated stadtpfenning.
Eisenach, Saxe- Weimar, a mint of the Landgraves of Thuringen.

the grand-duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Ysena.
Eisenstadt, Hungary, the probable place of origin of a thaler and
gulden of Nicolaus von Esterhdzy, 1770. The former has the legend

a portrait.
Ekaterinenburgh, a Russian mint under Catherine II.
Elbing, once part of the kingdom of Poland, now part of Western
Prussia, the seat of the coinage of the Teutonic Order, 1 3th- 1 5th c., and
of a Polish mint from the i6th-i8th c. A grosch of 1535 is cited by
Sch., xiv. 635. In 1628 and 1657 the Swedes coined money here : (i) a

Elborch.
Elgg, Switzerland or Helvetia, canton of Zurich, a Swiss mint under
the Merovingian princes. Augia Sacra.
Elincourt, a chateau and mint of the Counts of Saint-Pol, and of the
house of Luxemburgh-Ligny, I3th-i5th c. The earliest coinage of E.
was executed on French territory, and imitated the types, and it was in
order to be beyond the royal French jurisdiction that in 1300 the C. of
Saint-Pol established a mint at Elincourt. But money was also struck
at Arleux, and in 1306 he employed a Lucchese moneyer named
Tadolin to strike deniers and mailles, which might run concurrently
with the regal coinage of the higher values and in the more precious
metal. In 1337 we see that the Count engaged to abstain from melting
the money of the King, and to differentiate his own cross and pile on
both sides. The later Counts of Ligny, of Saint-Pol, and of the house
of Luxemburgh, had gold money, which followed the French types and
denominations.
