Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Konventionstaler coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1794-1795, during the reign of Francis Louis of Erthal, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg. This was a period of significant upheaval in Europe, with the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars causing widespread disruption and change. Despite these challenges, the Konventionstaler coin remained a popular and widely used currency in the German States, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
