Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F L" (for Francis Louis) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the number "20" and above the words "KREUZER" and "WÜRZBURG." This design element is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
