Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the ascension of August Philip, the Prince-Bishop of Speyer, to the throne in 1770. The coin's design features an image of August Philip on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Speyer on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting and its relatively small weight of 23.385 grams also make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
