Issued in 1669 to commemorate the act of homage rendered by the city of Wroclaw/Breslau (now Poland), Silesia, to Emperor Leopold I, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire (Austria) and the Habsburg hereditary lands. Such ceremonies affirmed the city’s loyalty and fealty to the new sovereign. Leopold I (1640-1705) was one of the longest-reigning emperors of the era, noted for his defense of Central Europe and consolidation of Habsburg power.
