Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "A" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Anselm Francis" (Anselm Franz in German), the ruler of the Bishopric of Würzburg at the time the coin was minted. This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
