1 Heller - Adam Frederick

Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim governed Bamberg — and simultaneously Würzburg — from 1757 until his death in 1779, one of the last prince-bishops to hold both sees concurrently. The heller by this period was already a denomination in slow institutional decline, its purchasing power so minimal that many German territories had abandoned it entirely. Bamberg kept issuing them largely out of administrative inertia, supplying small change to a principality that would be secularized and absorbed into Bavaria within two decades of this coin's last striking.
