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 1725 and is made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The coin's design and the fact that it was minted during Hutten's lifetime make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
