Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, minted during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim (1769-1773), 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 (.833) and weighs 23.385 grams. What's interesting is that this coin was part of a series of coins minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more modern, centralized state. The coin's design and symbolism reflect this shift, with the image of the bishop representing the old feudal order and the coat of arms representing the emerging centralized state.
