Interesting fact
The Conventionsthaler coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, where the coin was minted, was a small state in what is now Germany, and it was one of many German states that were part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the late 18th century, the Empire was facing economic challenges, and the value of its currency was fluctuating wildly. To address these issues, a number of German states, including Anhalt-Bernburg, began minting their own coins, like the Conventionsthaler, to serve as a stable form of currency. This coin was minted in 1793-1794, during the reign of Frederick Albert, the ruler of Anhalt-Bernburg at the time. Despite the challenges facing the Holy Roman Empire, the Conventionsthaler coin remained a popular form of currency in the region for many years.
