Comment
Some references attribute this coin to Bamberg.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.G." (for "Iohannes Gottfried") above the coat of arms of the Bishopric. This subtle detail highlights the posthumous nature of the coin, as it was minted after the death of John Gottfried of Aschhausen in 1623.
