Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Greiffenclau family, which was added to the reverse side of the coin. This shield was a symbol of the family's influence and power in the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Bishopric of Würzburg during the same period.
