Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Gustav II Adolph, the King of Sweden, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political and religious turmoil in Europe, and its design reflects the complex political and religious allegiances of the time.
