Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Fulda, featuring Adalbert III of Harstall, is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the emergence of modern nation-states, which had a significant impact on the way currency was used and perceived. This coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin during this time and was used in everyday transactions, reflecting the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region.
