Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Archbishopric of Mainz was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage issued during this period reflected the tumultuous times. The 1⁄48 Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Frederick Charles Joseph, who was the last Archbishop of Mainz before the state was secularized and annexed by France in 1794. This coin is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this brief but significant period in European history.
