Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Eichstätt, minted in 1694, features an image of John Eucharius of Castell, the Bishop of Eichstätt from 1685 to 1704. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Karl Schmid, who was a prominent engraver and medalist of the time. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
