Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a global conflict that involved many European powers, including the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Bishopric of Eichstätt was a part. Despite the conflict, the coin still features the image of John Anthony II of Freyberg, the Bishop of Eichstätt, signifying the importance of religious leadership during this time.
