Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, minted in 1762 during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the bishopric, the coin bears an image of a cherub holding a shield with the initials "A" and "F" (for Adam Frederick) surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This unique design was likely intended to commemorate the bishop's 25th anniversary of his ordination as a bishop, which took place in 1737.
