| Beschrijving keerzijde | A flaming sacrificial altar or brazier set upon an ornamental pedestal decorated with a small escutcheon, flames rising vigorously from the vessel in the baroque manner. The Latin legend is arranged in two registers: the upper portion arcs around the top of the coin, while subsidiary inscriptions are placed to the left and right of the altar and along the lower exergue. The composition commemorates the happy accession of Bishop Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn, with the Senate of Würzburg (Herbipolensis) offering devotion in heart, gold, word, and blood. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn was appointed Prince-Bishop of Würzburg in 1719, and this gulden marks his formal entry into the see with the kind of commemorative issue common to the Franconian ecclesiastical states. The Schönborn family dominated the prince-bishoprics of the Holy Roman Empire in this period with remarkable concentration — Johann Philipp Franz's uncle Lothar Franz simultaneously held Bamberg and Mainz, making the dynasty's grip on imperial church politics essentially unmatched in the early eighteenth century.
The .770 fineness is characteristic of South German gold coinage of the period, slightly below Rhenish gulden standard.
