Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Adam Frederick of Seinsheim (Konventionskreuzer) 1764-1770 from Bishopric of Würzburg (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Adam Frederick, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1764 to 1770. During his reign, Würzburg was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that was established in the 10th century. The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, and the Bishopric of Würzburg was secularized and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. This coin is a reminder of a time when Germany was a collection of small, independent states, each with its own rulers and currencies, before the country was unified in the late 19th century.
