Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 22 ff.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H.B." (for Henry VIII of Bibra) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era.
