Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Leichter Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Greiffenklau-Vollraths family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to signify the reign of Charles Philip of Greiffenklau-Vollraths as the Bishop of Würzburg.
