Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Christoph Francis of Hutten, a German bishop and prince-elector who played a significant role in the history of the region. The coin was minted in 1726 and is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage at the time.
