Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Schilling - Frederick of Wirsberg 1571-1572 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Frederick of Wirsberg, the Bishop of Würzburg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the powerful influence of the Catholic Church in the region.
