From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
The Fugger family began their rise to prominence as successful weavers in Augsburg. After several generations, the family developed into a powerful force in the world of banking and trading. Around 1473, the Fuggers began a long and profitable relationship with the Habsburg dynasty by serving as financiers for the royal family’s political and military ventures. In 1530, in recognition of their rise as a noble family, they received titles to the towns of Kirchberg and Weißenborn. They were later given the right to mint their own coinage.
