Reverse
Saint Killian, in his vestments and miter, stands on a pedestal holding a crosier in his right hand and a sword in his left hand. Rays of light shine around his head. The value "20" is contained within the pedestal with the date and mint mark separated 17 and 86 and M and P, respectively. The legend follows the curve of the coin reverse with additonal text below St. Killian's pedestal.

Comment
Varieties existInteresting 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) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable collector's item for numismatists.
