Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was issued by Frederick Charles of Schönborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and Bamberg, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. The use of gold for the coin's material was a symbol of the wealth and power of the church and the ruling family. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the era's minting techniques.
