Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Adam Frederick of Seinsheim (Konventionstaler) 1763 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, on the reverse side. This is unusual for a coin issued by a religious institution like the Bishopric of Würzburg, as Minerva is not a religious figure. It's possible that the inclusion of Minerva was a nod to the Enlightenment values of reason and intellect that were gaining prominence in Europe during the 18th century.
