Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1795 Konventionskreuzer coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued by the Bishopric of Würzburg, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire. At the time, the Empire was facing financial difficulties and political instability, which led to the issuance of a variety of different coins by various states and rulers. The Konventionskreuzer coin was one of these coins, and it was intended to be used as a standardized form of currency across the German states. Despite its intended use, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
