Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of John Gottfried II of Guttenberg, who was a prominent bishop in the Bishopric of Würzburg in the late 17th century. The coin features an image of Gottfried II on one side and an image of the Würzburg coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
