Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the election of Xaver, also known as Francis Xavier, as the Bishop of Mainz in 1766. The coin features an image of Xaver on one side and the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the German States period.
