Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1684, during the reign of Conrad William of Wertnau, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1682 to 1693. This period saw the rise of mercantilism and the development of new trade routes, which had a significant impact on the economy of the German States. The coin's gold content and weight also reflect the value placed on precious metals during this time, and its design likely reflects the artistic and cultural influences of the region.
