Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify the "Eye of God" and symbolize the watchful eye of the church over its people. This design element is a distinct characteristic of this particular coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
