Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Francis Louis, the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg, on one side, and an image of the Bamberg Cathedral on the other. This coin was minted in 1795, during Francis Louis' reign from 1779 to 1803. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity of the church and the state, with the prince-bishop representing the spiritual authority and the cathedral representing the temporal power. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
