Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Bishopric of Würzburg, where the coin was minted, remained a neutral territory and was able to maintain its economic stability, which allowed for the production of coins like this one.
