Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Bishopric of Würzburg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this Goldgulden, which features John Gottfried of Aschhausen, a prominent bishop of the time.
