Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Greiffenclau family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to signify the reign of John Philip of Greiffenclau of Vollraths as the Bishop of Würzburg. This coat of arms is a rare feature on coins from this time period and adds historical significance to the coin.
