Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Bishopric of Würzburg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this one, which features Philip Adolph of Ehrenberg, the Bishop of Würzburg from 1623-1631.
