| Additional information |
Heinrich VIII von Bibra served as Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1759 until his death in 1788, presiding over the abbey-principality during a period of mounting financial pressure common to small ecclesiastical states in the Holy Roman Empire. The two-year span of this issue — 1764 and 1765 — likely reflects a specific short-term coinage authorization rather than continuous production, a pattern typical of Fulda's ad hoc approach to small denomination silver in the mid-eighteenth century. The dual Eichelmann references suggest the 1764 and 1765 dates are catalogued as distinct varieties.
