Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - William Anthony of Asseburg (Konventionstaler) 1764-1765 from Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William Anthony of Asseburg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Paderborn from 1764 to 1765. During this period, the German States were experiencing significant economic growth and trade, and the demand for silver coins like the Thaler was increasing. The coin's design, which features an image of William Anthony of Asseburg on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn on the other, reflects the political and religious influences of the time. Despite being minted over 250 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
