Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler "Conventionsthaler" coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1766, just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which led to a period of political and economic upheaval in the region. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
