Comment
Klein S. 189, Reißen. 38Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1772 Conventionstaler coin from the Bishopric of Constance is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a shield with the letters "F.C." inside, which stands for Francis Conrad of Rodt, the bishop who issued the coin. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a notable piece in the history of numismatics.
