Interesting fact

The 1719 Sede Vacante Thaler from the Bishopric of Paderborn is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of political and religious turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Great Northern War, which was a conflict between Sweden and the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn on one side and the image of a mitre on the other. Additionally, the coin was minted using silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Overall, this coin is a unique piece of history that provides insight into the political, economic, and religious climate of 18th century Europe.
