Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which represents the initial of the ruling prince, Francis Louis. This coin was minted during his reign from 1786 to 1803, and the shield with the initial "F" was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during this period.
