Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1736, during the reign of Frederick Charles of Schönborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Würzburg was able to maintain its wealth and power, and the minting of this coin reflects the region's continued prosperity and influence.
