Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Conventionsthaler coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued in 1767-1768, during the reign of Emmerich Joseph of Breitbach-Bürresheim, who was the Archbishop of Mainz and the Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, and the Conventionsthaler coin was used to facilitate commerce and trade throughout the region. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of the German States.
