Comment
Slg. Piloty 992, Heller 151Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Hatzfeld family, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the reign of Francis of Hatzfeld as the Bishop of Würzburg. This coat of arms is a rare feature on coins from this time period and makes the coin stand out among other circulation coins from the German States.
