Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg, minted in 1697 during the reign of Lothair Francis, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the symbols of the Holy Roman Empire, including the imperial eagle and the crescent moon, which signifies the coin's connection to the Empire and the Bishopric's allegiance to it. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins minted during the same period and adds to its historical significance.
