Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Adam Frederick, the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the region, and its design reflects the Baroque style that was popular during that period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its value and historical significance, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
