Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Bishopric of Würzburg, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the region. The use of silver in the coin's production also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal at the time.
