Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, who was the Prince-Bishop of the Bishopric of Würzburg in Germany. The coin features an image of the deceased bishop on one side and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. It was minted in 1779, just a year after Adam Frederick's death, and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin is a rare and unique piece of history that provides insight into the religious and political leaders of the time.
