Comment
Mintmaster - GCB - Georg Christoph BuschInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1774 Konventionstaler from Regensburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.R." (for "Sacrum Romanum," or Holy Roman Empire) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that Regensburg was a Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire.
