Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, issued during the reign of Peter Philip of Dernbach (1675-1681), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the Bishopric of Würzburg and the Dernbach family, showcasing the unity between the church and the ruling family. This design was a departure from the traditional coat of arms used by the Bishopric, making the coin a distinctive and rare collectible for numismatists.
