Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Adam Frederick of Seinsheim (Konventionskreuzer) 1764 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 1755 to 1767. During his reign, Würzburg was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that was dissolved in 1806. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political changes happening in Germany at the time, such as the rise of trade and commerce, and the decline of the feudal system.
