One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, featuring John Gottfried II of Guttenberg, is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1693, during the reign of John Gottfried II, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1684 until his death in 1699. This period saw the rise of the modern nation-state and the decline of the feudal system, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin also reflect the changing economic landscape of the time, as silver coins were becoming increasingly important for international trade and commerce.
