Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features an image of Philip Adolphus of Ehrenberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1626 to 1629. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 17th century.
