Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Theodore of Dalberg (Konventionstaler) 1808 coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Germany. The Confederation of the Rhine, which was formed in 1806, was a loose alliance of German states that was established under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte. The coin was minted in 1808, just a year before the Confederation was dissolved and replaced by the German Confederation. This coin is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in German history.
