Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features an image of Christopher Francis, the prince-bishop of Bamberg, on one side, and an image of the Bamberg Cathedral on the other. This coin was minted in 1800 and was made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and influence of the prince-bishop and the cathedral, which was an important religious and political center in the region.
