Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schilling - Francis Louis of Erthal 1794-1795 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis Louis of Erthal, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1779 to 1803.

This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Europe during this time period.
