Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features an image of Adalbert II of Walderdorff, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1758 to 1759. 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 Fulda. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 18th century.
