Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Bishopric of Constance is that it features an image of Francis Conrad of Rodt, who was a prominent figure in the region during the 18th century. He served as the Bishop of Constance from 1750 until his death in 1775, and was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote education in the region. The coin was minted in 1761, during his episcopacy, and is a rare example of a coin that was issued during his reign.
