Johann Anton II von Freimann served as Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt from 1736 until his death in 1757, governing one of the smaller ecclesiastical territories of the Holy Roman Empire in what is now Bavaria. The Eichstätt mint operated sporadically, producing thalers largely for ceremonial and administrative purposes rather than widespread circulation — the bishopric's economic footprint was modest enough that large silver coinage rarely moved far beyond the territory itself. Surviving examples consequently show little wear, not from careful preservation but from simple disuse.
