Interesting fact

The 1714 Charles of Lothringen 1/14 Thaler from the Bishopric of Osnabrück is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the War of the Spanish Succession taking place from 1701 to 1714. Despite the conflict, the coin still features a detailed portrait of Charles of Lothringen, the Bishop of Osnabrück, on one side, and an image of the Osnabrück coat of arms on the other. This coin is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bishopric of Osnabrück and the artistry of the mint masters who created it.
