Interesting fact
The 1725 Sede Vacante Thaler from the Bishopric of Eichstätt features a unique countermark, which was added to the coin to indicate that it was issued during a period of papal vacancy, or Sede Vacante, in the Catholic Church. This countermark is a small letter "S" surrounded by a wreath, and it can be found on the reverse side of the coin. The inclusion of this countermark makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a tangible connection to the historical event of the papal vacancy.
