Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of John Philip Francis of Schönborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1719 until his death in 1724. The coin features an image of Schönborn on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other. It was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and was widely used for coinage in Europe.
