Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Lübeck is that it features an image of Frederick August, the ruling prince-bishop of the diocese, on one side, and an image of the Lübeck coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1775 and was made of silver, weighing 28.78 grams. It is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
