Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features an image of Christoph Francis of Buseck, who was the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1795 to 1802. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of Buseck on the coin was meant to symbolize the close relationship between the Bishopric of Bamberg and the Holy Roman Empire.
