Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg is that it features a unique depiction of the coat of arms of the Manderscheid-Blankenheim family, which includes a shield with three lions and a bird perched on top. This design was specifically chosen by Johann von Manderscheid-Blankenheim, the bishop who commissioned the coin, to reflect his family's noble lineage and status.
