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 letter "F" on the reverse side, which stands for "Franciscus," the Latin name of Francis Louis of Erthal, the ruler depicted on the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that Francis Louis was the ruler of the Bishopric of Würzburg during the time the coin was minted.
