Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry VIII of Bibra, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1763 to 1764. During his short reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which featured the 10 Kreuzers coin made of silver. This coin was an important part of the local economy and was used for everyday transactions in the Bishopric of Fulda, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
