Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1790 Sede Vacante 2 Thalers coin from the Bishopric of Eichstätt is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin as a way to signify that it was issued during a period of "sede vacante," or papal interregnum, when there was no Pope in office. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
