| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saints Henry II and Kunigunde, patron saints of Bamberg, stand as full-length figures flanking a Gothic cathedral or church facade rendered in relief at center. Saint Henry, mitred and vested, appears on the left, while Saint Kunigunde, crowned, stands on the right; both hold the church jointly between them. Below the cathedral, three heraldic shields are arranged — displaying the Imperial eagle, the Bavarian lozenges, and a lion — with a mintmaster's mark between them. The surrounding legend names both saints in abbreviated Latin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John George II Fuchs von Dornheim became Prince-Bishop of Bamberg in 1623 and within a decade had executed over three hundred people as witch trials consumed the diocese — one of the most concentrated episodes of persecution in German history. This gulden dates to virtually the first full year of his reign, before the Hexenbischof, the "Witch Bishop," had fully consolidated his grip on the territory. The Thirty Years' War was already two years old when this piece was struck, and Bamberg's mint was working under considerable fiscal pressure to fund both military obligations and the new bishop's ambitions.
