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 issued by Marquard Sebastian Schenk of Stauffenberg, who was the bishop of Bamberg from 1684 to 1691. During his tenure, the bishopric was facing financial difficulties, and the coin was minted as a way to help alleviate some of the financial pressures. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Bamberg during difficult times.
