Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Greiffenclau family, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the influence of the Greiffenclau family in the region.
