Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Francis Louis of Erthal (Konventionstaler) 1779 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F.L." (for Francis Louis) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and issuing authority, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
