Interesting 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 1631, during a time when the Bishopric of Würzburg was under Swedish rule, and it highlights the political and cultural connections between Sweden and the German States during the 17th century.
