Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Francis Louis of Erthal (Konventionstaler) 1786-1791 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis Louis of Erthal, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1779 to 1803. During his reign, he implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the local economy. The coin itself is made of silver and features an image of Francis Louis of Erthal on one side and the coat of arms of Würzburg on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
