Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States, specifically during the Great Turkish War (1683-1699). The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political instability of the time, as the Bishopric of Bamberg sought to maintain its economic and political power in the face of external threats. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Bishopric of Bamberg.
