Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg, made of silver in 1623, is that it features an image of Philip Adolph of Ehrenberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg at the time. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and the image of the Prince-Bishop on the coin serves as a symbol of the power and influence of the church during that period.
