Comment
Mintmaster IAS (Johann Anton Schröder)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - William Anthony of Asseburg (Konventionskreuzer) 1766-1767 from Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William Anthony of Asseburg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Paderborn from 1766 to 1767. This was a period of significant economic growth and development in the region, and the coin reflects the increasing importance of trade and commerce in the German States during this time. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during this period, and the care with which it was used to create currency that would be both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
