Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg, minted in 1766 during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a putto, or cherub, holding a scepter and a shield. This design was likely intended to symbolize the authority and power of the Bishopric of Bamberg, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
