Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features an image of Adalbert II of Walderdorff, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1752 until his death in 1759. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of Adalbert II was included on the coin as a way to promote his legacy and reinforce his authority within the bishopric.
