Comment
Helm.224Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Würzburg, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Philip Adolph of Ehrenberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1625 to 1629. During this time, the Bishopric was facing economic and political challenges, including inflation and conflicts with neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Würzburg during this period.
