Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1795 Konventionskreuzer coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of George Charles of Fechenbach, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, a region in southern Germany. At the time, the German States were facing economic challenges and political upheaval, and the Konventionskreuzer coin was minted as a way to address these issues. The coin was made of silver and was intended to be used as a standard circulation coin, but it is now highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
