Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was issued by Frederick Charles of Schönborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and Bamberg, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. The use of gold for the coin's composition and the intricate designs on both sides make it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists today.
