Comment
1769 type minted under mintmaster Ludwig van Hoven (Schön DM# 87, Eichelmann# 131) with different design of cartouche on obverse and reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H.B." (for Henry VIII of Bibra) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
