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" in the center, which stands for "Fechtenbach," the name of the mint master who produced the coin. This shield is located below the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating this coin, making it a truly distinctive piece of numismatic history.
