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. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic pressures of the time, as the Holy Roman Empire was facing financial difficulties and the value of its currency was declining. Despite these challenges, the Konventionskreuzer coin remained a popular form of currency in Germany and is now highly sought after by collectors.
