Comment
Slg. Piloty 908Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "W" on the reverse side, which represents the Bishopric's coat of arms. This distinctive feature helps to distinguish the coin from other similar coins of the time period.
