Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Walderdorff family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This was a nod to Adalbert II of Walderdorff, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda at the time the coin was minted in 1757. The inclusion of the Walderdorff family's coat of arms on the coin highlights the close relationship between the church and the nobility in the German States during that period.
