Comment
Mintmaster IAS (Johann Anton Schröder)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1765 Konventionskreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued as part of a broader effort to standardize currency across the German States, and its design reflects the influence of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern nation-states. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 20 Kreuzers coin is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
