Interesting fact
The Conventionsthaler was a currency used in the German States during the 18th century, and the 1767 edition from Mühlhausen is a particularly rare and valuable coin. It was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Imperial Eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Mühlhausen on the other. The fact that it was made of silver adds to its value and rarity, as silver coins were not as common as copper or other metals at the time. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
