Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Speyer is that it features an image of Francis Christoph, the Prince-Bishop of Speyer, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric on the other. This coin was minted in 1770, during Francis Christoph's reign, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and historical significance, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
