Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the French Revolution. The coin was minted in 1788, just a year before the French Revolution began, and it features an image of Henry VIII of Bibra, who was a prominent figure in the Bishopric of Fulda. Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
