Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Bamberg. The coin was minted in 1684-1685, during the reign of Marquard Sebastian Schenck of Stauffenberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg at the time. This was a period of political and religious upheaval in the region, with tensions between the Catholic Church and Protestantism leading to conflicts and power struggles. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
