Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 31Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry VIII of Bibra, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1763 to 1779. During his reign, he implemented various reforms and modernized the administration of the bishopric, which had a significant impact on the local economy and the lives of the people. The coin itself is a reflection of the economic and political changes that were taking place during that time.
