Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Charles Philip of Greiffenklau-Vollraths, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1749 to 1783. This coin was minted during his reign, and it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a German prince-bishop during that time period.
