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 1770-1771, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was undergoing significant reforms, including the creation of the Imperial Circles, which were groups of states that were organized for mutual defense and economic cooperation. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a standardized currency that could be used across the various states of the Empire.
