Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "G" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Fuchs von Dornheim" (Fuchs of Dornheim), the name of the mint master who produced the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
