Comment
Helm# 245, SBM# 9cInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Gustav II Adolph, the King of Sweden, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. This coin was minted in 1632, during a time when the Swedish king was trying to expand his influence and territory in Europe, and the Bishopric of Würzburg was under his control. The use of the king's image on the coin was likely a way to promote his authority and legitimacy in the region.
