Helmschrott 736, Slg. Piloty 1229Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, minted in 1760 during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, features an image of the bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and materials reflect the economic and political context of the time. The use of silver as the material for the coin was a symbol of the bishopric's wealth and power, and the image of the bishop and the coat of arms on the coin served as a representation of the authority and legitimacy of the ruling power. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic, political, and social conditions of the time, and it's a great example of how coins can serve as a window into the past.
