Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Frederick of Wirsberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1571 to 1572. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a silver coin from the German States during the Renaissance period.
