Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick Charles of Schönborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1729 to 1746. During his reign, Schönborn was known for his efforts to modernize and secularize the government of the bishopric, and the minting of this coin may have been part of those efforts. Additionally, the coin's composition of .770 gold and weight of 3.25 grams make it a unique and valuable piece among collectors of historical coins.
