Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the ascension of John Philip Francis of Schönborn to the position of Bishop of Würzburg in 1720. The coin's design features an image of the bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. The use of gold for the coin's composition and the relatively small weight of 3.16 grams make it a unique and valuable piece in the world of numismatics.
