Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1781 Sede Vacante Thaler from the Bishopric of Eichstätt is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts the coat of arms of the bishopric, which includes a shield with a diagonal cross and a mitre above it, surrounded by foliage and topped with a crown. This design was used specifically for coins minted during the period of sede vacante, or "empty seat," when the bishopric was vacant and awaiting the appointment of a new bishop. This coin is a rare and interesting example of a coin that was minted during this brief period in the history of the bishopric.
