Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, minted in 1763 during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a cherub holding a scroll with the Latin inscription "Sapientia et Justitia" (Wisdom and Justice). This design was meant to symbolize the values that the bishopric wished to promote and uphold.
