Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Lübeck is that it features an image of Christian August, the ruling bishop of the diocese at the time, on one side, and an image of the Lübeck coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1724 and was made of silver, weighing 29.26 grams. It is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
