Comment
Zepernick 147Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1762-1763 Sede Vacante 1/12 Thaler from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features a unique "Sede Vacante" design on the reverse side, which means "empty seat" in Latin. This design was used during the period when the bishopric was vacant, and it depicts a throne with a crown on it, but no bishop is present. This coin is a rare and interesting piece of history that collectors and numismatists find fascinating.
