Interesting fact
The 1763 Sede Vacante 1/48 Thaler from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is a rare and interesting coin due to its unique history. The coin was minted during a period of political turmoil in the region, when the bishopric was vacant, and the coin's minting was authorized by the cathedral chapter. This coin is a tangible representation of the political and religious upheaval of the time, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians. Additionally, the use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, in the coin's minting adds to its rarity and historical significance.
